No. Egypt is blocking that. Egypt is paid inordinate amounts of money by the US to do so.
So it's not just Israel
No it isn't. Does it have to be? Do you think the Israeli government takes a neutral position on the Rafah border crossing? Israel is the primary prosecutor of this genocide. They are assisted and enabled largely by the US, which also dictates (client state) Egypt's policies in this regard.
See first comment of this comment chain
Egypt stopped allowing Palestinians to cross when refugee members of the Muslim Brotherhood (intimately tied to Hamas, and from which Hamas is an offshoot) co-opted the 2011 protests to seize control of the country.
Imagine how Egypt would look if their pro-democracy, pro-socialist revolution wasn't fucked by Hamas the same way Gaza has been.
The military runs Egypt, and they do what the US wants, which aligns with what Israel wants.
Lol everyone must kneel before the Great Satan
Jesus you guys are fuckin insane.
Imagine pretending the US doesn't wield influence. I wonder if you also pretend that Russia determines US electoral outcomes, or that Iran keeps shitting our pants in the middle east.
The US definitely has influence. For instance, it flexed that influence to get Egypt to allow aid trucks through, and contribute aid of their own.
