Hamas wants demands met before letting people leave Gaza: US
[GEO.TV] Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
has presented several conditions before permitting foreign nationals and Gazooks to exit Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, the US State Department said on Monday.

This development comes as the United States is actively engaged in facilitating the safe departure of American citizens in Gaza who desire to leave and securing the release of hostages detained by Hamas.

The State Department spokesperson, Matthew Miller, emphasised that "Hamas is making a number of demands before they'll allow people to leave Gaza... Just as we believe they ought to release all hostages they are holding, we believe they ought to... let leave all the American citizens and other foreign nationals who are being basically forced to remain in Gaza against their will because Hamas won't uphold its responsibility to operate its side of the Rafah crossing."

#3 ^It's not Egypt's Sinai, it's our Sinai. We just have to take it back for the third time - third time IS the charm.

#5 Seems a bit unrealistic to expect the Israelis to care more about the Paleos than Hamas does. Rather reminiscent of the scene in Blazing Saddles where the sheriff takes himself hostage. It was funny in the movie, but in real life it's kinda stupid.
