There can be issues with credentials and one person can delay the line for days on end. Appropriate steps have to be taken to relieve these problems. I am a little curious how a region of the world which participates very willing in the movement of pilgrims is experiencing this congestion. There are NGOs available to help, let them help.
I realize Israel wants to stop every member of Hamas from leaving Gaza, but, the humanitarian crisis is important and people need relief.
Israel should realize that murderers never get away with it. Since the convening of the Nuremberg Trials Nazis have been discovered, arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced. That will happen here as well. Every Hamas member will live looking over their shoulder as they are now wanted for murder and human rights violations.
The humanitarian crisis at the Egypt border needs to be addressed. Egypt will need the expertise of the USA to allow an orderly flow of people out of Gaza. As they pass through the border they should be ready to declare their destination and then movement forward to aid and travel.
Of concern is any movement into Gaza that brings terrorists or other bad players to the war.
Especially of concern are women, children and the elderly as they are the more delicate people leaving Gaza. It is best to allow movement out of Gaza as it will diminish the casualties and allow Israel ease of movement into the region to begin to flush out Hamas and destroy their war infrastructure.
President Abbas stated the Palestinian people denounce Hamas and the violence that organization carried out against Israel. The West Bank can be a destination for Palestinians once calling Gaza their home. President Abbas should be making plans to receive them while guaranteeing Israel there will be no further confrontation, but, only an agenda toward peace.
This is a war between Israel and Hamas. There is no need to escalate the war. The Palestinians need to move out of Gaza to a safer place. It will be easy to identify all those leaving Gaza through video recording of the border crossings.
The Palestinians are far safer without Hamas among them. The Palestinians were not cared about by Hamas. It is time to move forward with evacuations and movements to safer ground.
