Vice President Kamala Harris said in a meeting Saturday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi that Washington will not allow for the forced relocation of Palestinians or any redrawing of the current border of the Gaza Strip.

“Under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,” Harris said, according to a statement from the vice president’s office.

    I mean, it’s just going to be like past big conflicts. Where Israel claims people were not forced to relocate.

    Folks won’t be “forced,” but their lives and their family’s lives will be at great risk if they don’t relocate - so a lot of people are going to relocate if they have the option. If they don’t, they’re basically sleeping on a shooting range.

      By “past big conflicts” you mean the 48 war…? Because that’s the only war where that happened

      And you can reasonably assume that things are different from 70 years ago, and that nobody, not even Israel, wants Gaza now.
