Yossi Schwartz, ISL – RCIT section in Israel/Occupied Palestine, 14.02.2024
They say that the first victim of the war is the truth and it is correct that wars expose the nature of the sides involved in one way or another with the war. This is very clear in the case of the dictator Al-Sisi the traitor.
Over the weekend, the Associated Press quoted two Egyptian officials and a Western diplomat saying that a mass influx of Palestinians into Egypt (Sinai) could endanger the treaty.
On Saturday, Josep Borrell, the European Union foreign policy chief, said an Israeli invasion of Rafah would “lead to an unspeakable humanitarian catastrophe and grave tensions with Egypt.”
However, on Monday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry denied the AP report and said that Egypt would uphold its accord with Israel, which the countries signed in 1979.
“A peace agreement between Egypt and Israel already exists, which has been in effect for the past forty years, and we will continue it,” Shoukry said at a press conference in Slovenia, where he is on an official visit” [1]
Israel’s impending invasion of Rafah after bombing the city’s high concentration of civilians, most of whom fled there from other parts of the territory
“I think you all know more than a million Palestinians are sheltering in and around Rafah,” John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman with crocodile tears . He told reporters on Thursday. “I could tell you that — absent any full consideration of protecting civilians at that scale in Gaza — military operations right now would be a disaster for those people, and it’s not something that we would support.”
Ho yea? What do the U.S do except call Netanyahu our bad boy?
“The following day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he was planning a Rafah incursion, but said that he ordered the military to draw up “a combined plan for evacuating the population and destroying the battalions” to submit to the government.
“It is impossible to achieve the goal of the war of eliminating Hamas by leaving four Hamas battalions in Rafah,” his office said in a statement. “On the contrary, it is clear that intense activity in Rafah requires that civilians evacuate the areas of combat” [2]
Kick the imperialists and the traitors out of the region!
For Palestine red and free from the river to the sea!
