In the midst of a strong Israeli retaliation following the indiscriminate attacks by Hamas against Israel that began last Saturday, Egypt would have accepted a proposal to open a humanitarian corridor that would allow the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians who are now caught in cross fire.
However, the proposal was “completely” rejected by Hamas, according to the statement from a source within the terrorist group to EFE. In the statement, the terrorist group stated that the conditions imposed by the United States were wholly unacceptable, since it would be a humanitarian corridor that would go in "only one direction," which would only allow an evacuation of the Gaza Strip.
According to the terrorist group, the proposal would “force the Palestinian people to abandon their homeland” and would not address the humanitarian crisis, even though Egypt is now serving as the main mediator between Israel, the United States and Hamas.
“It is not something that our people and our resistance agree with,” said the Hamas source, who noted that the group continues to ask for “access to essential supplies and goods such as fuel, electricity and anything that guarantees” the life of the Palestinians while the fire continues between the terrorist group and Israel.
While reports emerge that Hamas rejected Egypt's proposed humanitarian corridor, other reports, citing unnamed Egyptian authorities, indicate that Egypt is urging Israel to open a safe passage to its borders to prevent a mass exodus to the Sinai.
In fact, unlike Hamas, the United States and Israel would have accepted the humanitarian corridor, since the Rafah crossing is the only exit from Gaza that is not controlled by Israel.
In Gaza, the deaths so far number 1,400. The injured exceed 6,200.
