Biden Co-Chair, Dem Sen. Coons: Israel Has to Move Civilians from Rafah, Others Understandably Won’t Take Them In

‘There is nowhere else for them to go’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "Markie, I went to Egypt on a bipartisan delegation, ten senators, Republicans and Democrats. We went to Saudi Arabia, to Israel, and to Egypt just two weeks after the October 7th, attack and President Sisi of Egypt was clear and firm, he refuses to accept any Palestinians from Gaza. He does not want, as he put it, the Hamas ideology of Gazans to come into the Sinai. There is also regional concern because of the far-right members of Netanyahu’s government, who have publicly said they want to remove Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank, that if they are removed from Gaza into the Sinai, now controlled by Egypt, that they would never return to Gaza. So I understand the concerns of others in the region, but, frankly, that’s what puts the Palestinians in Rafah between a rock and a hard place. They have already, most of them, fled from the north of Gaza because the IDF told them Russia would be a safe place — "
MARTIN: "And they don’t know where else to go."
COONS: "There is nowhere else for them to go unless Israel helps them relocate back to the north and provides tents and shelter and food for them, in partner with international organizations that the U.S. and many others support."
