    Since Oct. 7, Israeli authorities have continued to block Palestinians in Gaza from fleeing into neighboring Israel to seek even temporary refuge from the hostilities, in violation of international law.

      Are they preventing them from fleeing elsewhere?

            Well the Israelis can’t violate Egyptian sovereignty. They have perfectly good areas they can setup IDP camps without bothering Israel.

              Do you think the Egyptians are putting a genocide on Gazans by keeping them trapped in a war zone?

                  Do you think them keeping their border shut is relevant to Gazans wanting to escape?

                    No. Because Israel controls the border crossing. And even if they weren’t it wouldn’t absolve Israel of it’s sins. Just like western countries accepting Jewish refugees would not have absolved Germany.
