SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 19, 2023 | SaltWireIt started with the massacre perpetrated in Israel almost two weeks ago by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, which has ruled the Gaza Strip for the past 17 years. U.S. President Joe Biden called it “sheer evil” and a chorus of other voices said the same.
As usual, there is some truth in both the narratives, and which one people believe largely depends on their existing loyalties.The same mechanism is at work in every subsequent turn of events, including the explosion at Al-Ahli Al-Arabi hospital in Gaza City that killed an alleged 500 people on Wednesday morning, Oct. 18.Popular opinion in Arab countries agreed, as you would expect, and started demonstrating against the Israelis.
The Israelis say no impact crater is visible, which would argue in favour of a mis-firing rocket rather than a deliberate strike . However, any crater could be hidden by the debris, so without an on-site investigation, that’s far from conclusive. Aha, say the proponents of the Israeli plot theory, but Israel wants to drive all the Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip so it’s using terror tactics . But the only place those Palestinians could go is Egypt, which borders the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinians would not only be an economic burden for Egypt but a political threat to General Sisi’s regime, because they would work to replace him with an Egyptian leader more supportive of the Palestinian cause. Neither Sisi nor the Israelis wants that, so no second Naqba.
