Interview: "The sheer magnitude of the horror that's been inflicted on the people of Gaza - it's very hard to comprehend the scope & the depth of the criminality that Israel has inflicted; the sustained, merciless, heartless assault on a population that's comprised overwhelmingly of refugees & their descendants & in half comprised of children; & the kinds of Mephistophelian satanic policies of Israel." #GazaGenocide #IsraeliHorror #USEnablement #USPol .....2

Analysis: More than 100,000 Palestinians have crossed the border into Egypt since Oct 7. This is despite Egypt refusing to accept refugees from Gaza. Because they are not technically "refugees", they are not eligible for most international aid for refugees, unlike their counterparts back in Gaza.

Analysis: Hassan Barari: Israel’s priority is the West Bank, not Gaza. "The West Bank is the heart of what they say is the biblical land". Israel aims to expel even more Palestinians.
