Foreigners, injured people begin leaving Gaza through Rafah border for 1st time since Israel-Hamas war
Newsable Asianet News ^ | Nov.1, 2023

The Rafah crossing to Egypt was opened for the first time on Wednesday since the devastating Hamas attack on October 7, allowing dozens of foreign passport holders and injured people trapped in Gaza to leave the Strip. While convoys of much-needed aid have been moving between Egypt and Gaza, people had not been allowed to cross until now. This development is expected to enable around 400 foreigners and dual nationals to depart from Gaza today.

Egypt is saying 400 Israel-hating Gazans can come into their country.

Only about 1,999,600 to go.

Just shove them back into Egypt at gunpoint. That government is passively complicit in this mass murder of Israelis.

If they refuse to leave kill them on the spot.

The arsenal that Hamas accumulated in Gaza had to pass through Egypt. Somehow, despite the huge amount of aid America gives Egypt, Biden’s CIA and the NSA either missed this enormous tranfer from Iran or the anti Israel, pro Iran Biden cabal ignored it.

No, they definitely won’t be letting in anybody else. These people are going to be shipped out immediately to their home countries (probably the US) or hospitalized and sent elsewhere for treatment.

This must be something Blinken worked out, probably by threatening Egypt’s foreign aid or trade agreements.

Egypt does not want them. Nobody in the ME (except Iran) wants anything to do with this group of people who are radical wild cards and could bring down the governments of just about any ME country they get into.

Blinken probably told them, just take them temporarily, and then we’ll take them off their hands.

One Palestinian mothers son was accepted to leave but the mother was refused. However she had been to the crossing many times only to be refused over and over.

They live in the US so what was she doing in Gaza? and it begs why was she refused many times to leave? I suspect she's involved with Hamas.

Neither Jordan nor Egypt wants them....the vast majority are slum dwellers though they like to be called refugee camps. They have long been dependent on International aide and will suck the life out of any welfare ‘system’ whereever they go.

Are they allowed to bring their weapons ammo and suicide vests with them?

Just heard on Fox that Britons & Americans are not being allowed to leave. SO, I guess that makes them all hostages

They got thrown out of Syria.
They got thrown out of Lebanon.
They got thrown out of Jordan.
The only reason anyone, including Iran, wants anything to do with them is that they can be used to hurt Israel and the West.

So naturally, who will get them? Us!
