    Also, seriously?

    Source saying that Israel controls whether they stay or leave?

    How exactly do you think borders work?

      Has Israel stated they would not let refugees leave? Say Egypt unilaterally opens the Rafah crossing, Israel would stop them from leaving?

          Because then it’s unsourced opinion/speculation. Bickering between Egypt and Israel aside, if Egypt unilaterally opened their side of the Rafah crossing, Israel has said they would not let refugees leave?

            Again, they don’t need to say it.

            They’re still stationed at the border between Gaza and Egypt. They could walk away and leave it up to Egypt.

            They aren’t.

            Because they don’t want anyone to leave.

            Actions speak louder than words.
