“US pledges financial support to obtain Egyptian consent”
Russia’s state-run TASS news agency reported on the 29th (local time) that sources said Israel plans to relocate a significant number of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Egypt, with an initial figure of at least 100,000.
“According to our information, the Israeli government plans to relocate a significant number of Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip to Egypt under the pretext of the security of the population during the active phase of Israeli military operations and the resulting post-conflict conflict,” the source told TASS news agency. He said.
“The first phase of this plan means that at least 100,000 people will be able to move to the territory of neighboring countries. “This scenario means that more people will be displaced from Gaza in the future,” the source said, adding that the Israeli government is “clearly not interested” in the future return of Palestinians.
It was also claimed that the United States may act as a sponsor to maintain Palestinian refugee camps in Egypt. It is also known that if Egypt accepts this, the United States will provide finance to Egypt.
“The United States will likely intervene to secure the consent of Egypt, which strongly opposes this scenario,” the source noted.
He continued, “It has been reported that in exchange for Egypt’s consent, the Americans have pledged to provide additional funding for the construction and maintenance of refugee camps and to provide Egypt with significant financial support,” adding, “This is a strong argument considering Egypt’s current financial difficulties.” the source added.
On October 7, Hamas, a radical Palestinian militant group based in the Gaza Strip, made a surprise invasion into Israeli territory, killing many residents of Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms) living near the Gaza border and killing 200 people, including women, children, and the elderly. The kidnapping of the above Israelis heightened tensions in the Middle East again.
Hamas described the attack as a response to Israeli authorities’ aggressive actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Israel declared a complete siege on the Gaza Strip and began military operations there. Israel is also attacking some areas in retaliation for attacks in Lebanon and Syria. Conflicts are also occurring in the West Bank.
