Why won’t Egypt let Palestinians cross the border?

The war between Israel and Hamas has been raging for five months, more than 30,000 people have been killed, and it’s spawned a massive refugee crisis. Currently 1.4 million Palestinians who have fled to the southern city of Rafah on the border with Egypt are hemmed in.

So are any of Palestine’s neighbouring countries willing to accept them? And if not, why not?

In this episode of The Briefing Sacha Barbour Gatt speaks with Anas Iqtait from the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies at ANU about Arab countries’ role in the crisis.

Headlines:

Some visas reinstated for Palestinians heading to Australia

Russians around the world protest election

TikTok ban talks ignite in Australia

Space X is building a spy satellite network for the US
