The Egyptians are fed up of Hamas.
“The Egyptians are fed up of Hamas.”
The article reported:
“As a follow-up, Egypt on Saturday banned Hamas’s “military wing,” the Al-Qassam Brigades, as a terrorist organization.”
This is actually quite a historic break, and establishes a legal basis for “open season” rules of engagement.
It looks like quite the anvil is now in place on Gaza’s Southern border, should the hammer come down.
Oh, and here’s a little throwaway line in the story: “Egypt has demolished thousands of homes in expelling all Gazans from the Sinai border”. That is the kind of thing for which Israel would encounter a firestorm of criticism for years. For Egypt, it is mentioned like a fun fact in passing - just obscure trivia.
Egypt might just send an armored division through Gaza for a weekend romp if they feel like it sometime. As long as Israel doesn’t fire back, there is not a damn thing Hamas could do about it.
