Hamas tried to sneak its fighters out of the Gaza Strip in ambulances that evacuated dozens of wounded Palestinians to Egypt earlier this week, a senior Biden administration official said Friday.

Hamas had compiled a list of the seriously wounded that it wanted to evacuate from Gaza for treatment in Egypt, along with thousands of foreign nationals looking to flee the enclave.

The list was then vetted by Egypt and the United States, which found that a third of the names on it were of Hamas fighters, the administration official said, adding that the list was rejected and none of the 76 wounded Palestinians who were ultimately evacuated in ambulances out of Gaza were members of the terror group.

    I’m sorry I made you feel attacked. It’s just that’s it unreasonable for a society who directly suffered from a horrible actor to forget that so soon. It was 2013 when they were in power last and 10 years is a blink of an eye in the timeline of a society. In 30-40 years I think the pain of the Brotherhood’s actions may have healed enough that they would risk allowing the brotherhood in to aid in civilian casualties.

    You’re not wrong for seeing the suffering in Gaza and wanting it to stop. You’re not wrong for seeing the atrocities of Hamas and calling them out.

    I hope you have a great day.

      Never mind, it wasn’t you. I was just getting tired of arguing with 20+ people from both sides simultaneously. Seems like whenever I say something neutral and humanist, at least one of both camps is gonna attack me, which one depends on the instance.

      I totally understand that grudge, It’s only human. However, I wish people were better at letting go of grudges. The whole Israel-Palestine situation would be less severe if people could.

      That is the first time someone says that to me here and I really needed to hear it!

      I hope you have a great day.

      Thank you for your nice reply and a great day to you too!
