Hundreds of dual nationals left Gaza through Eretz Crossing. According to international military practice, anyone is allowed to leave a war zone or territory under siege. The depopulation of Gaza also serves Israel well. Nevertheless, most Palestinians are not allowed to leave the battlefield in Gaza.
The world that pressures Israel to accept African economic migrants does not press Egypt to allow Gaza refugees in. Fatah doesn’t want them in the West Bank, either, and so the besieged population is trapped.
The issue of dual citizenship reminds us that Palestinian Authority issues its own passports recognized by seventy countries, including Western Europe and Russia. While Jews discuss whether to grant Palestinians statehood, they already have one.






The fact that Palestinians with a passport leave Gaza is not that surprising actually. If Israel doesn’t want them and hardly any other country wants them too? So, there’s nothing else to do but taking a passport leave Gaza.
