Despite its claims to oppose exile of Palestinians, Cairo appears to be preparing for a scenario forced by the Israeli and US plot.
Egypt is building a fortified buffer zone near its border with the Gaza Strip as fears mount of an imminent Israeli ground invasion of the southern city of Rafah, which could displace hundreds of thousands of Palestinians across the frontier, according to satellite images and media reports.
Rafah was designated a “safe zone” to move refugees to the border in Israeli/US ongoing genocide and expulsion campaign.
Footage from the site in the Sinai desert and satellite photos show that an area that could offer basic shelter to tens of thousands of Palestinians is being constructed with concrete walls being set up on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, the only non-Israeli-controlled crossing to and from Gaza.
The USA and Israel have long been plotting to LIQUIDATE GAZA and finally the DIABOLICAL, INHUMAN AND TOTALLY ILLEGAL PLAN IS TAKING SHAPE.
From the start it was pretty obvious. How was it possible that thousands of poorly armed ‘prisoners’ of Gaza would storm through the strongest border wall on earth totally by surprise, despite being heavily infiltrated by Israel. Why did the Israeli elite sell of their stock just days before.
Why did Israel set out to totally destroy North Gaza and drive destitute survivors more and more south till most are crammed into Rafah on the Egyptian border?
Why did the US suddenly CUT OFF AID to Egypt just weeks beforehand, leaving it open to blackmail on the point of bankruptcy?
Because the plan all along was to force the Gazans out of their now completely uninhabitable home, and bulldoze the remains for luxury resorts.
Egypt will protest a lot, and even the western media will be allowed to complain for a few days, but the news flees to other disasters, and perhaps Egypt will receive “unrelated support”.
If they go through with this fascist plot – stranding up to two million survivors in an empty desert for profit and privatising food aid away from the “complicit” United Nations it means the final end of any morality and peace on the planet.
The new prison camps are part of “contingency plans” if large numbers of Palestinians are allowed to “force their way” into Egypt and could “accommodate” more than 100,000 people, for starters-the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing Egyptian officials.

It is surrounded by concrete walls and far from any Egyptian settlements. Large numbers of tents have been delivered to the site, the report said.Videos taken by the United Kingdom-based Sinai Foundation for Human Rights show trucks and bulldozers clearing debris from a plot of land of about 8sq miles (21sq km).
The Washington Post, obtained satellite images that show 2sq miles (5sq km) was cleared between February 6 and Wednesday.

The Sinai Foundation, an activist organisation that has a monitoring team in northern Sinai, said in a report this week that the gated area will be surrounded by 7-metre-high (23ft-high) cement walls.

The UN’s high commissioner for refugees said on Friday that a mass movement of people from Rafah into Egypt’s Sinai would be a disaster for Palestinians and prospects for peace in the Middle East.

Mohamed Abdelfadil Shousha, the governor of North Sinai, the Egyptian governorate that borders Gaza and Israel, has reportedly denied that Egypt is building a refugee camp along the border in case of an exodus by Palestinians forced by the Israeli military.
“It would be a disaster for the Palestinians … a disaster for Egypt and a disaster for the future of peace,” Filippo Grandi told the Reuters news agency of Israel’s planned ground invasion of Rafah.

When asked whether Egyptian authorities had contacted the UNHCR about possible contingency plans he said: “The Egyptians said that people should be assisted inside Gaza and we are working on that.”
Israel has said it wants to take over the Philadelphi Corridor, the fortified border area between Gaza and Egypt, to secure it. Egypt has threatened that this would jeopardise the peace treaty the two countries signed four decades ago.
Cairo has emphasised that it does not want Palestinians to be displaced from their land by Israel, comparing such a scenario to the 1948 Nakba, the forced displacement of about 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in the war that led to Israel’s creation.
Tel Aviv’s insistence, with complicit US permission and military guarantees, on going ahead with its planned attack on Rafah despite international pressure has been unshaken, formnthe obvious reason they plan to expel the Palestinians even though the area is where 1.4 million are living, the vast majority of whom have been forcibly displaced – some multiple times – by Israeli bombardments and ground operations.
Even more obviously Israel insists it will soon fully occupy and control the short Egypt/Gaza border
Palestinians displaced to Rafah are suffering from a lack of sufficient shelter, food, water and medicine, and the United Nations and human rights groups have warned that the humanitarian disaster in the besieged enclave is rapidly worsening.
Israel is delighted, and recently invited nazi chanting Israeli demonstrators to block aid lorries getting through.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the army to work on a plan of evacuation for more than half of the 2.3 million people of the Gaza Strip who are now crammed into Rafah, but has provided no detailed steps. As if his plan wasn’t already decided years ago.
He has suggested some Palestinians could perhaps be sent back areas of rubble north of Rafah that the Israeli military has already cleared through a ground invasion backed by bombings.
Avi Dichter, Israel’s minister of agriculture and rural development, has suggested they might drive people to the bombed al-Mawasi refugee camp near the Mediterranean coast, where many are already sheltering.
But UN humanitarian aid chief Martin Griffiths said on Thursday that it would be an “illusion” to believe that people in Gaza could be evacuated to a safe place. He also said it would be “a sort of Egyptian nightmare” if Palestinians were to be forced into Egypt.
The United States and a number of other key allies of Israel have said they oppose a ground assault on Rafah, some warning it would be “catastrophic”.
US President Joe Biden “has been clear that we do not support the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza”, Reuters quoted a US Department of State spokesperson as saying on Friday. “The US is not funding camps in Egypt for displaced Palestinians.”
Israel on Wednesday pulled out of US- and Arab-mediated talks with Hamas because it said the Palestinian armed group has had “ludicrous demands” that have included Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza.
Netanyahu and the Israeli war cabinet have continued to push for “total victory” with the prime minister calling Rafah the “last bastion” of Hamas.
For weeks, the fiercest fighting in the Gaza Strip has been taking place in Khan Younis, also located in southern Gaza, with the Israeli military claiming its attacks are aimed at destroying Hamas battalions in the area.
Using shelling, sniper fire and drones, the Israeli army has also for weeks been laying siege to Nasser Hospital, the largest medical facility in the area, which has hundreds of patients and staff and has been a shelter for thousands of displaced Palestinians.
Dr Nahed Abu Taima, the hospital’s director, told Al Jazeera on Friday that Israeli forces were rounding up patients and civilians and had cut off electricity to the medical complex.
“We stand helpless, unable to provide any form of medical assistance to the patients inside the hospital or the victims flooding into the hospital every single minute,” he said.
Israel’s attacks on Gaza have killed at least 28,775 Palestinians and wounded 68,552 since October 7, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. Several thousand more are missing, presumably buried under rubble.

Egypt creating a gated high-security area to lock up Palestinian refugees from Gaza in the desert
The Sinai Foundation obtained information through a relevant source that indicates that the construction work currently taking place in eastern Sinai, is intended to create a high-security gated and isolated area near the borders with Gaza strip, in preparation for the reception of Palestinian refugees in the case of the mass exodus of the citizens of Gaza Strip.
The foundation interviewed two local contractors who said that local construction companies had been commissioned this construction work by Ibrahim Al-Arjani – A close businessman to the authorities – Abnaa Sinai For Construction & Building, who had been directly assigned the commission through the Egyptian Armed Forces Engineering Authority.
The construction work is intended to build a gated area, surrounded by 7-meter-high walls. After the removal of the rubble of the houses of the indigenous people of Rafah, who were displaced forcibly and their houses demolished during the war against terrorism against ISIS.
The area is expected to be levelled and ready in no more than 10 days. They said this information is being circulated in closed circuits to avoid publication, noting that the work is being done under the supervision of the Egyptian Armed Forces Engineering Authority under heavy security presence.
Sinai Foundation published a report two days ago –https://sinaifhr.org/show/333 – with exclusive images showing the Egyptian authorities starting rapid construction on the border area of eastern Sinai.
Additionally, this morning the Institution’s team observed the building of a cement wall of 7 meters in height starting at a point in Qoz Abo Raad village south of Rafah city, directed towards the Mediterranean Sea north, parallel to the border with Gaza Strip.
In an interview with Mr Mohannad Sabry, @mmsabry a researcher specialising in Sinai and Egyptian security, he said:
“ The construction works seen in Sinai along the border with Gaza—the erection of a reinforced security perimeter around a specified and open stretch of land—are serious signals that Egypt could be preparing to accept and allow the displacement of the people of Gaza into Sinai, in coordination with Israel and the United States”.
The construction works that started early Monday, February 12 have its eastern borders lying between a point southern of the Rafah border crossing and another southern of the Kerem Shalom border crossing, while its western borders lie between Qoz Abo Raad village and El-Masora village.
Military intelligence officers are present as well as the ‘Fursan Al-Haitham’ militia that stems from the Sinai Tribal coalition headed by businessman Ibrahim Al-Arjani, near the Qoz Abo Raad area south of the city of Rafah, along with construction tools, bulldozers and local contractors. #sinai #rafah #Gaza
