Gaza moved closer to a humanitarian catastrophe on Thursday as the death toll rose and vital supplies ran low, while Israel massed tanks on the enclave's border ahead of an anticipated ground invasion amid international calls for restraint.
One of the Egyptian security sources, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters news agency that Egypt rejected the idea of safe corridors for civilians to protect “the right of Palestinians to hold on to their cause and their land”.
Evidently they care more about the political pressure Palestineans provide against Israel than they do keeping their fellow Arabs safe, and they don’t want to deal with the negative effects of letting hostile refugees in. (That didn’t work out well for Jordan or Lebanon.)
