Palestinian civilians need a safe place to go while Israel wages war on Hamas. In this context, Egypt owes the International Monetary Fund $22 billion and wants another $5 billion.DEMOCRAT LIES ARE ENDANGERING AMERICAN LIVES
That Gaza residents want to flee Israeli military action makes it even more difficult for Egypt to open its doors. “The Palestinian cause is the cause of all Arabs, and Palestinians should stay on their lands,” Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi said. There is an understandable sentiment in the region that Egypt would betray the campaign for a Palestinian statehood if it drained refugees from Gaza.
These are all good reasons for Egypt to resist taking in Gazan refugees. But there are also good reasons why Egypt should do so anyway. Another is that Egypt owes the IMF $22 billion, and this December, it secured another $3 billion. Yet not even this $3 billion was enough. Egypt is the world’s largest wheat importer, and wheat production has been severely curtailed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Egypt asked the IMF just this month to increase its $3 billion from December to $5 billion.
