As Israeli warplanes pound Gaza, killing more than 1500 people and crushing buildings in response to last weekend’s unprecedented attack by Hamas, Israel’s leadership has repeatedly urged civilians to flee the territory while they can. “Get out now,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday, vowing to unleash the full force of Israel’s military. But the only viable exit is a border crossing into Egypt, and that country, as ever in times of war, is keeping it firmly shut.
Egyptians have long feared that Israel could use the crisis to make the Gaza conflict Egypt’s problem, too. “Egypt will not allow the Palestinian cause to be settled at the expense of other parties,” el-Sissi had said on Tuesday . But pressure is growing to provide an escape valve for at least some of Gaza’s 2.3 million people, who, fearing for their lives, have nowhere to go.
