Marina Hyde’s column in the Guardian today was good on this point. We have no influence over whether the Egyptians will accept Palestinians fleeing Gaza (they’ve given every indication so far that they don’t want to). But we can sweep our own side of the street.
Given the UK record for accepting refugees, maybe Egypt should send them to Rwanda. Get the UK/us organise the flights. If it is acceptable for the UK to do this (which it seems to be with Tory voters)
Not a serious comment of what to do, amazed at the UKs treatment of refugees.
