      That's the point. But when Israel demands the Palestinians to be forcefully removed, they will exclaim that the pier can be used to have them ported out. To say, the EU or USA. Since removing them has always been the point. Thatich has been clear since the beginning of their invasion of Gaza, killing 35,000+ and herding them into that direction. The issue is if they will get away with it and the rest of the West will allow it. Or they will demand that Egypt takes them, which they won't unless maybe they get we debt forgiven plus cash. Which I still doubt they will, Egypt is financially broke and has crazy debt anday not want to take millions of refugees.

        Can see the Egyptian POV.

        These refugees previously were politically destabilizing Egypt from within. They don't want a repeat of that.

        The US is a 3rd party. If Israel deported them it would be a war crime. If the US accepts them onto that pier, it's not.

        Solves Egypt and Israel mutual problem.

        The US could then push them into Canada. If anything bad happened there, it would be an improvement over the status quo.

    I wonder how much of that pier was built using the rubble that nobody had time to dig the bodies out of before it was pushed into the water?
