“Officials said that Israel and Egypt were prepared to let foreigners leave the Strip which is under heavy Israeli bombardment, but Hamas had refused.”
Egypt stopped allowing Palestinians to cross when refugee members of the Muslim Brotherhood (intimately tied to Hamas, and from which Hamas is an offshoot) co-opted the 2011 protests to seize control of the country.
Imagine how Egypt would look if their pro-democracy, pro-socialist revolution wasn’t fucked by Hamas the same way Gaza has been.
The military runs Egypt, and they do what the US wants, which aligns with what Israel wants.
Lol everyone must kneel before the Great Satan
Jesus you guys are fuckin insane.
Imagine pretending the US doesn’t wield influence. I wonder if you also pretend that Russia determines US electoral outcomes, or that Iran keeps shitting our pants in the middle east.
The US definitely has influence. For instance, it flexed that influence to get Egypt to allow aid trucks through, and contribute aid of their own.
