Sweet and Spicy: what's the buzz on honey infusions? | SaltWireAMMAN/BEIRUT - Calls for a humanitarian corridor or an escape route for Palestinians from Gaza as a conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas has escalated have drawn a blunt reaction from Arab neighbours.
For Palestinians, the idea of leaving or being forced out of land where they want to forge a state carries echoes of the"Nakba", or"catastrophe", when many Palestinians fled their homes during the 1948 war that accompanied Israel's creation. In response, Jordan's King Abdullah warned"against any attempt to forcibly displace Palestinians from all Palestinian territories or cause their internal displacement, calling for preventing a spillover of the crisis into neighbouring countries and the exacerbation of the refugee issue."
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said the evacuation warning was"to temporarily move south ... to mitigate civilian harm." He was speaking at an event at the U.N. with families of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas. "People are just saying we are all going to Sinai – that we are going to be forcibly displaced," she said."We have nothing to do with any of this. We just want to live in peace."An Israeli military spokesman said on Tuesday he would advise Palestinians to"get out" through the Rafah crossing on Gaza's southern border with Egypt. Israel's military issued a clarification stating the crossing was at that time closed.
