After the publication in "Israel Today": Israel is considering evacuating the Gazans to the north of the Gaza Strip Israel today. Egypt sent strong messages to Israel according to which the movement of Palestinian refugees to Sinai would endanger the peace agreement between the countries.

In Rafah, approximately 1.4 million citizens of Gaza Strip are currently concentrated and in Egypt they fear an Israeli action that will lead to a mass flight across the border to Sinai. Since Israel is preventing Palestinians from returning to their homes in the northern part of the Strip, it will in fact leave them no option but to flee south.
