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.
