Israel and hamas war
A purportedly leaked document claims Israel plans to send Palestinians to Egypt permanently. New Delhi:
Amid the Israel-Hamas war, reports of a purportedly leaked document have created a huge controversy. According to this document, Israel plans to send the people of Gaza to Egypt's Sinai. Wikileaks posted on X that a week after the Hamas attack, Israel's Ministry of Intelligence allegedly prepared the highly controversial 10-page document.
We look at some details in the alleged document:
Plan To Send Palestinians To Egypt
Benjamin Netanyahu's Office's Denial. Mr Netanyahu's office has said the document is an imaginary exercise and a concept paper. But after this document came to light, both the Palestinian and the Egyptian governments have strongly criticised it. Egypt feels that Israel plans to make Gaza's problem Egypt's problem. The entry of such a large displaced population to Egypt will create issues.
Palestine's Worries
Palestine feels that through such a plan, Israel intends to occupy the entire Gaza and expel them. Nabil Abu Rudaineh, spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said, "We are against sending Palestinians anywhere like this. If such an attempt is made, then it will not be allowed to happen. What happened in 1948 will not be repeated."
Fate Of Most Gaza. During the war before Israel was formed in 1948, some seven lakh Palestinians had to flee their homes and the territory that is now present-day Israel. In Palestine, it is known as "Nakba" or catastrophe. Palestinians fled from the area which is now Israel's territory, locking their homes in the hope that they would return when there would be peace. But till date they have not been able to return. Israel did not allow them to return. The population of those Palestinians is now six million and apart from the West Bank, they are living in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan. Most of the residents of Gaza are also Palestinian refugees who fled the border areas of present-day Israel and reached Gaza.
What Israel Army Plans
It is suspected the Israeli army wants to confine the entire Palestinian population to southern Gaza by dividing northern and southern Gaza since the northern area is where Hamas has its major centres. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) likely plan to finish off Hamas completely. Out of the 11 lakh population in northern Gaza, the war has forced some eight lakh people to move to southern Gaza. If Mr Netanyahu's Sinai plan is actually implemented, it will be difficult to stop Arab countries from getting angry.
