It seems the White House will pay attention to your case depending on your ethnicity, but it’s actually your politics. The Biden administration’s response to the death of Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi after the Israeli-American hostages killed by Hamas raises the question: does the United States only care about its citizens when they agree with US policy?
Rafah’s modern tragedy began with the U.S.-brokered Camp David peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The misery brought on then peaked in 2014 with the forced displacement of the Egyptian city’s residents, and is now suffering more than ever as Israel vows to invade Rafah as part of its war on Gaza.
Rafah has become the new focus of Israel’s war. It is pressing to invade the city on the border with Egypt, where 1.4 million people — more than half of Gaza’s population — are now sheltering.
Israel is pushing for more control of the disputed passage near the Egypt-Gaza border, testing Egypt’s security stance and threatening the peace treaty between the two nations.
