They voted for them, by the slimmest of margins, 15+ years ago. They never got a 2nd chance to change course.
I know a large majority supported the Oct 7 attacks. I think that number is WAY smaller now.
I wonder if it’s time that the Israelis sit down with the Egyptians and say “We know about the tunnels into Gaza. We know about weapons being smuggled thru those tunnels to Hamas. We know that you are complicit in allowing it to happen. Here are your choices: close the tunnels and stop aiding Hamas or we are gonna blow holes in your security fence and let the Gazans escape into your territory. You can feed and house them then”.

The holder of those keys is a Bedouin tribal leader named Ibrahim al-Organi, now the wealthiest man in northern Sinai. But how could an ex-con smuggler rise to a position of border control prince? Through connections to the Egyptian government, Organi has cultivated extremely close ties with Egyptian President al-Sisi, and more significantly, with al-Sisi's son, Mahmoud. General Mahmoud al-Sisi is the Deputy Chief of Egyptian intelligence and he sits on Organi's board. It’s good to have friends in high places, and in the case of Organi, it has made him, and those in his network, very wealthy.
