Vice President Kamala Harris said in a meeting Saturday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi that Washington will not allow for the forced relocation of Palestinians or any redrawing of the current border of the Gaza Strip.
“Under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,” Harris said, according to a statement from the vice president’s office.

so many replies to this and yet not one of them has a link. i wonder why they’re having so much trouble backing up their positions
Well for one, Egypt was refusing most people fleeing the gaza strip, but that’s to be expected when 1.5 Million people try to leave at once.
Egypt is also responsible for the terrorist organization that more or less runs the strip and attacked the festival a month ago, they were originally Egyptian.
Do you often just make things up on the internet?
Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood which are mortal enemies of the current of government of Egypt.
Exactly what I just said. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt, and after 2011 they won and briefly held 42% of parliament seats and the presidency, but luckily they were forced out of government soon after.
Hamas’ biggest villain’s are from Egypt, the Egyptian people are more responsible for Hamas’ actions than Palestine, so I think it’s honestly very sad for Palestine to be trapped in a situation where there are enemies on all sides adding fuel to the fire.
Lol nobody shits on Muslims as much as other Muslims. Take Xinjiang, for example. Nobody fucking cares. Arabs always hated Palestinians too. Israel supplied more humanitarian aid to Gaza than whole of Muslim world combined (gifts to Hamas don’t count as humanitarian aid).
I don’t think Israeli aid counts as “aid” because it’s their obligation under intentional law governing occupation, and they have fallen short of these commitments.
But it’s true, Arab governments don’t give shit about Palestinians. I mean, most governments around the world barely give a shit about their own people. The leaders of Egypt and Jordon and Lebanon have never demonstrated an interest in Palestinian statehood.
Your talking about countries that with unstable economy, can be easily have riots or someone can easily fund and ISIS like group to have a civil war?
Most of the Arab countries have taken people during war with expectations they can go back, but then they couldn’t because Isreal refuse to snd stole land.
Blaming Arab countries at this time without any historical or recent understanding is an attempt to shift the blame and conversation to something not important.
People are dying, kids are dying, US government send weapons to Isreal, and then bluntly lying to people. Lets keep the conversation focus…
Gaza Strip is not occupied by Israel for almost 20 years. Israel still supplied many services.
According to the UN it’s an occupation. And if it’s not, then we need a new word for when your territory’s boarder, governance, access to critical resources, and military capabilities are all dictated by another country.
Source for that claim about the UN? Cus Israel left Gaza Strip in 2005.
As for the rest of your comment, boarders are always also controled by others parties. I don’t have to let you access my house. Both Israel and Egypt are free to chose how much they trade with Gaza.
Hamas was the government of Gaza. Up till they started a war with Israel.
Access to what resources? Water? Hamas, the government of Gaza Strip, decided that bombs are more important than water. .
As for your last claim, Israel doesn’t dictates the military capabilities of Gaza Strip. If Israel had a say, Gaza Strip would have had no military capabilities.

I’m really not concerned with debating symantics, though. All people deserve the right to access food, water, power, etc… and live and move freely and govern themselves with dignity. Palestinians have been deprived these rights, and that has to change.
Hamas deprives Gazans from that, Hamas’ people executed gays, people from other parties, people that want economic cooperation with Israel, etc.
We agree on that. I think where we may disagree is in where we want to go from here.
I don’t know your preferences, but typically when I encounter people following this line of inquiry they only seem interested in criticizing Hamas’ abuse of Palestinians only in so far as it justifies Netanyahu’s abuses.
Does your concern for the Gazans who suffer under Hamas extend any further than its usefulness as a rhetorical device? If so, let’s link arms in demanding a ceasefire and a political solution which can finally deliver the safety for Israelis and Palestinians that the Israeli far right has so long kept from all of us. Let’s demand justice against Hamas leadership in the international criminal court instead of giving them the violence that is their goal. Let’s not give them what they want and punish their victims further.
If not, so be it.
Nobody shits on Muslims as much as racists like you.
