But the Egyptian government says that international conventions allow free passage for all vessels.
How do Palestinians in Gaza view the US election?
With one day remaining until the US presidential election, Palestinians in Gaza say they are unsure what the victory of either candidate actually means for Israel’s war on the territory.
“The American elections will not affect the war in any way, and will not have an impact. It may affect the American voter but not Palestinians in Gaza,” said Saleh Shonnar, a displaced Palestinian in Deir el-Balah. “The Americans are a partner in the war on Gaza, and in the extermination of children, women and the elderly,” he added.
Mustafa Abu Hamada, another displaced Palestinian, said he was worried about a victory for Trump.
“We hope to God that it [the result of US elections] will be in favour of the Palestinians, because the Palestinians are tired and suffering. Biden spent four years and did not provide anything for the Palestinian people. He was promising a two-state solution, and in the end there is nothing,” Hamada said.
“He was supporting Israeli society, and the only thing he talks about is the captives. What about the people who are dying? We ask the Americans, if Trump succeeds, to have mercy on the Palestinian people.”
