the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate (EJS) has called on “the free people of the world” to join its “Global Conscience Convoy” aiming to apply pressure to open the Rafah Crossing – the Gaza Strip’s lifeline – to allow all forms of humanitarian aid, such as (food, water, medication, and fuel) to enter sustainably, and for an unconditional exit for the critically wounded.
The convoy is also demanding that medical, relief, humanitarian, and press crews enter Gaza, showing all forms of support to the Palestinian people in standing against the Israeli expulsion plans.If this is a genocide, as this article calls it, why are these Egyptian journalists not calling for the Rafah Crossing to be open for those who are not critically wounded as well? It seems like Palestinians are being used as political pawns by Egypt, they would rather keep them trapped in Gaza in a dangerous war zone to maintain political pressure on Israel.
