    Logistical and ethical issues aside, they literally cannot move. Gaza is fenced, one crossing north that’s a fortress, with permits to leave or enter and a Mossad shakedown either way you’re going, and on the southern end you have an Egyptian crossing that’s closed thanks to normalization between Israel and Egypt. The sea is blockaded.

    Gaza Strip is a ghetto, prison for 2 million people.

      What’s the alternative for Egypt? Let 2 million refugees in the country? I don’t think even the liberal Western countries with good infrastructure would accept that.
