What confounds me is why the U.N. and Biden administration oppose any and all evacuation of the Palestinian people out of the war zone. They either believe such displacement would be "ethnic cleansing" or they fear that such charges would be made. Never mind that would save tens of thousands of Palestinian lives, protect aid workers, ensure aid did not go to Hamas, liberate the people from Hamas, and allow Israel to fulfill its objective to disable Hamas. This is utterly galling to me.
I don't know if Biden put any pressure on Egypt or Jordan. I don't know if such pressure would have worked. I don't know if Gazans could have been safely transported to the West Bank.
I know there's no easy solution, but that seems to me to be the only solution. Get these people out of the goddamned war zone.
