Egypt's Reluctance to Open Exit for Gazans Raises Concerns
TL;DR Summary
As Israeli airstrikes continue to pummel Gaza, pressure is mounting on Egypt to open the Rafah crossing as the last remaining exit for Gazans. However, it remains unclear if the crossing is operational, with the Palestinian side reportedly non-functional due to Israeli airstrikes. Egypt is hesitant to open the crossing due to concerns about the potential mass displacement of Palestinian refugees into its territory. The Biden administration is in talks with Israel and Egypt to create a humanitarian corridor, but Egypt has expressed limits to its ability to help. Meanwhile, rights groups warn of a potential humanitarian catastrophe as the death toll rises.
