Egypt’s Sisi says Gazans must ‘remain on their land’

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has said that Gazans must “stay steadfast and remain on their land”, amid calls for Cairo to allow safe passage for civilians in the besieged enclave.

Egypt has the only border crossing with Gaza not controlled by Israel and has been a key mediator in Israel-Gaza escalation in the past.

The comments underscore a fundamental barrier to efforts to allow the safe passage of civilians: The concern that they will not be able to return to their land.

This has been Egypt's line for decades and there's basically no chance they soften on it.

I just really want to make sure this gets shared and seen. Anyone who can condone what is being done right now is a monster.

I know it's such a cliche thing to say these days but if you believe in anything fair and just out there, please pray for the Palestinian people. Even if you can do nothing else.

Not sure I'll be able to process this one today.

i by no means want to overstate this, but i just was exposed to live mainstream news on this issue for the first time because i went down and sat with my dad who was watching. the liberal networks are surprisingly tuned in to the humanitarian crisis unfolding. they don’t seem to mirror the full support green light given by the white house. there were the obvious propaganda lines and human interest focus on individual israeli victims, but there was a lot of footage of and interviews with palestinians as well. cnn had a guest on explicitly stating that the only solution is to end the apartheid.

again, i don’t want to overstate. but i don’t think that the attempt to manufacture consent for this genocide is entirely succeeding. at least, i hope that’s the case.

Yeah, the tone of coverage has been shifting since Israel started blowing up dozens of apartment buildings. I don't think the government can hide the reality of what's happening.
