Vice President Kamala Harris said in a meeting Saturday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi that Washington will not allow for the forced relocation of Palestinians or any redrawing of the current border of the Gaza Strip.

“Under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,” Harris said, according to a statement from the vice president’s office.

    I don’t think Israel minds the borders of Gaza remaining as is, just as long as there aren’t any Palestinians living there. They’ll “voluntarily” relocate, for humanitarian reasons, since most of the infrastructure, houses, and hospitals happened to fall down.

      The only ones who mind the borders of Gaza are Hamas and Islamic Jihad. They literally want all of Israel and Jews eradicated.

          Ummm what? What’s propaganda about what he said? He just said Israel doesn’t want Gaza and that Hamas wants the entirety of Israel. Which is completely correct, no matter how you look at it.

            No he said the only ones who mind the borders of Gaza are Hamas and PIJ. Meaning the people themselves don’t care. That’s completely wrong no matter how you look at it. Also many high-ranking Israeli officials have already expressed desire to expel all Gazans, and it’s reached the level of official consideration. Also see the other post where Israel says Gaza’s territory will go down after the war.

              I still don’t see the point here, “mind the border” means that they’re the ones who wanna change the existing borders and take over Israel. You mean the people themselves want to take over Israel? If so I agree, I’m pretty sure that’s what Gazans want as well. But again that just doesn’t sound like propaganda to me, and sounds like the truth.

              And come on, of course Israel wants to expel all Gazans. They’re the literal worst neighbours to a country ever. But just like Hamas expressed their desire to kill all jews (desire and intent…) in Israel and take over, making an islamic jihadist state, they and Israel both can’t do that. They both hate each other, the difference is which one actually follows through the atrocities. Meanwhile, Hamas is winning in the “getting what they want” battle, given that Israel isn’t going to kick Gazans out for good.

              Blaming Israel for wanting to expel them is ignoring the fact that Hamas wants to murder Israel. It’s the biggest double standard.
