Can someone eli5 me why the Israeli airstrikes inside Gaza mean Egypt can’t open the border?
My understanding is they’d need Israeli cooperation to ensure the area Gaza-side would be safe from bombardment.
It is almost like Israel doesn’t want this aid to reach Gaza.
Because last week Israel bombed the Gaza side of the border checkpoint multiple times.
Israel own a 100m strip at the border. It can’t be opened unless Israel agrees.
Do you have a source for this? Everything I’ve read has stated that that border is controlled by Egypt and Hamas.
They bombed the crossing once. They can and will do it again to enforce their blockade.
