    I don’t see the benefit to slow rolling the release of foreign nationals in Gaza. Why is it going to take 2 weeks?

      Reasonable answer: Because they need to ensure that everyone has a place to go and won’t cause an international incident when the border (so Egypt) devices that they don’t have a valid passport or are going to become a homeless person or whatever. Also make sure there aren’t any known terrorists sneaking out.

      Real answer: So that the IDF can murder more of them

            The IDF are the ones with the missiles, the rockets, the guns, the bombs, the tanks, the walls, the barbed wire and the funding taken from US tax payers. If the fascist terrorist state of Israel doesn’t like the world’s reaction, maybe it should change its behavior.

              That is some fine brainless gibberish that still does not explain why Egypt would want the IDF to kill civilians.

    Actual Reuters headline:

    Hamas says Israel’s strikes on refugee camp kill more than 195 people

      Gaza’s Hamas-run media office

      Its weird seeing both Hamas and non-Hamas government related bodies. Kind of confusing juggling Gaza without Hamas, Gaza with Hamas, and Hamas’s militant wing specifically.

        Hamas is the defacto government of Palestine for close to ten years now. It’s hard to untangle because they are genuinely intertwined. There isn’t a significant difference between “government of Gaza” and “Hamas”.

          There’s more to Palestine than Gaza, so while your 3rd sentence is very much true and more central to the issue at hand, the first one is quite incorrect and might lead people to forget about Abbas/Fatah.

      Engaging groups like Hamas, isis, or other groups that are highly integrated into the civilian population is ugly business. Hamas is not a conventional state actor with military assets on bases or mobilized for action. It’s uncles and sons and brothers in the homes of family.

      The carnage in Gaza is horrifying, but Hamas isn’t likely to form lines and face the IDF in honorable field combat.

      Removing the threat posed by Hamas will have an absolutely horrific cost in civilian lives. After oct 7, “the world” seems to agree that Israel has some right to remove that threat. Hamas leadership crossed a line, and like all war the cost will primarily be paid by the ordinary people who were unlucky enough to be born in the war zone.

        And no one has yet proposed a better way to stop Hamas from firing rockets and prevent another attack on Israel. The only advice people give to Israel is “just stop fighting and die”. The world left Hamas alone to fester in Gaza and now that they hit Israel too hard and their end was decided everyone and his dog cares for the people of Gaza.

          Israel is the most powerful military force in the region. They’re not going to die if they stop the fighting. In fact, the current fighting is doing half of hamas’ work for them. Israel is hamas biggest recruiting tool. Peace is the only way to end this conflict.

            “Stop fighting, you won’t be driven into the sea, we promise”. There is no peace with Hamas and no one has a solution better solution on how to remove Hamas from Gaza.
