    IIRC, Egypt also sees Hamas as a threat since Hamas is backed by Iran. They aren’t going to do anything to make life easier for Hamas or similar groups.

      Jordan won’t take them either.

      Now in all fairness they want their own country even though historically they’ve never had one.

      That may be the right move but they have to stop acting like terrorist first.

      I had a good Palestinian friend who always felt they should merge with Israel and ride the gold train

        Maybe Israel should stop acting like fascists.

        I see the same solution from the other direction.

        IMO the “sovereignty” of Palestine is only as it is now because otherwise Israel would have to let the Palestinians into the democratic process where they could just vote out the settler minded fascists.

        A coalition needs to impose the one state solution by force, and only withdraw as a solid millitary core is built up capable of cracking down on separationist and supremacist cells.

        Draconian tier protections against violations of civil rights and equal rights.
