Abbas tells Sisi, "Thanks for helping keep Palestinians in misery 💗"

From the official Palestinian Wafa news agency:

President Mahmoud Abbas has expressed deep appreciation for Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's firm stance reaffirming Egypt’s rejection of the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.

In a message sent to President el-Sisi, President Abbas stated, "We deeply appreciate Egypt’s steadfast position, which you reaffirmed today—rejecting the displacement of our people from Gaza, standing against injustice toward the Palestinian people, and upholding Egypt’s historic and unwavering support for the Palestinian cause."

He emphasized that these words hold great significance for the Palestinian people and align with international law, reinforcing their determination to remain on their land and resist any attempts to uproot them.

President Abbas concluded his message by wishing President el-Sisi good health and happiness, while expressing hope for continued progress and prosperity for Egypt, its government, and its people.

Abbas had joined Egypt's and Jordan's rejection of Gazans fleeing to safety during the height of the war. In fact, he declared that Palestinians from Gaza would be barred from entering even the Palestinian Authority controlled areas in the West Bank - not even leaving "Palestine!"

Then, as now, these Arab leaders pretend that their principled stands to ignore the hundreds of thousands of Gazans who desperately want to leave is support for their "human rights."

If we assume that about 20,000 civilians were killed in Gaza, that would be 1% of the population. If Egypt, Jordan and the PA had taken in, say, 200,000 refugees from Gaza in late 2023/early 2024, that would have saved about 2,000 lives.

No articles in The Lancet are going through those statistics.

I'm still waiting for a single human rights group or official that says that Gazans who want to leave Gaza should have that right. Just one.
