Political scientist and journalist Yuri Svetov said that Israel has no right to expel Gaza civilians from their homeland. Egypt and other countries will not accept refugees who would “radicalize in every possible way” their exile from their own lands, suggested He is in conversation with 360 TV channel.
“Palestinians live in their own land. The Gaza Strip, even though it is narrow, is their land. So why would they leave their homeland and go somewhere else?” asked Svetov.
The political scientist believes that Israel’s plan to deport Gaza residents is reminiscent of the First or Second Exodus of Babylon, when Jews were expelled from Palestine. “They remember this as an unprecedented crime. And they themselves are ready to repeat it. why them (Israel – editor’s note)) will he not remember his own historical tragedy of being driven from these lands? – said.
In his view, the resettlement of Gazans is an attempt to shift responsibility to other countries. Because Israel, which cannot agree with its neighbors, proposes this problem to Egypt. However, Egyptian authorities had already announced that they would not accept refugees. The expert believes that this is largely due to the economic situation, because this country is not the most developed.
“Why does Egypt need two and a half million foreign citizens to feed, water and clothe? At the same time, they will radicalize in every possible way the fact that they were expelled from their lands,” Svetov is convinced.
