As reported earlier today on this web site (HERE), the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has air-dropped leaflets on SOUTHERN Gaza instructing residents of Khan Younis to "evacuate" their homes. This comes after the IDF did the same thing in northern Gaza, then began systematic bombing of it, leveling homes and apartment buildings.
The trouble is, there is nowhere for residents in southern Gaza to actually go! They cannot enter Israel; and Egypt won't take them through the Raffah Border crossing because Egypt says this is a "forced displacement" of a civilian population, which is illegal under International law. So they're trapped, even though the IDF is telling them they must leave.
As a result of the IDF leaflets into southern Gaza, President Sisi of Egypt issued an ORDER to the Egyptian Army to "Make preparations to enter the Gaza Strip and implement a No-Fly Zone over it unless Israel implements a solution in Gaza."
So there it is, for all the world to see.
Israel, which DENIED they were forcibly relocating a civilian population, is now shown to be doing exactly that, in violation of International Law.
Egypt is now telling its military to "Prepare to enter the Gaza Strip and implement a No-Fly Zone" which would only affect Israeli war planes presently bombing Gaza.
In order to implement a No-Fly Zone, Egypt would necessarily have to enforce it, by shooting down planes which violate the no-fly zone.
War in the Middle East is very close now.
The question then arises, what will the USA do with its gigantic naval and air forces in the region? Will the USA defend Israel if they violate the Egyptian no-fly zone? Will the US attack Egypt?
Breathe deep, the gathering gloom.
