What do you think they are doing?
Are they trying to create a safety belt there also, or is it as some are speculating, the beginning of relocating Palestinians into Sinai as per a secret agreement with Israel?
Ahmad, “create a safety belt” was the declared aim (now the regime claims these were “rumours”) I’m increasingly hearing the “beginning of relocating Palestinians into Sinai as per a secret agreement with Israel” argument from people I tend to value their opinions.. and the same goes for reporters who went to Artish and Rafah, and come back with quotes from the protesters similar to that..
We’ll see… In both cases, fuck the regime..
