JERUSALEM — Israel’s military on Friday directed the evacuation of northern Gaza, a region that is home to 1.1 million people — about half of the territory’s population — within 24 hours, a U.N. spokesman said.
This could signal an impending ground offensive, though the Israeli military has not yet confirmed such an appeal. On Thursday it said that while it was preparing, a decision has not yet been made.
The order, delivered to the U.N., comes as Israel presses an offensive against Hamas militants. U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric called the order “impossible” without “devastating humanitarian consequences.”

FTA: “'Not a single electricity switch will be flipped on, not a single faucet will be turned on and not a single fuel truck will enter until the Israeli hostages are returned home,' Israeli Energy Minister Israel Katz said on social media."
Looks like the ball is in Hamas' court. If their leaders really want their people not to be bombed and to have their utilities turned back on, they need only release the Israeli hostages. If they are still alive. But we all know that the Hamas leadership cares about their "people" about as much as Zelensky does Ukrainians. They will bet on the international leftist press to portray them as victims of Israeli oppression and militarism. Their barbarism is so normal to themselves, they have no self-awareness of how revolting beheading babies is to the rest of the world.
FTA: "With Israel sealing off the territory, the only way in or out is through the crossing with Egypt at Rafah, but Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said Thursday that airstrikes on Rafah have prevented it from operating."
Egypt's Foreign Ministry is using the air strikes like a Fan Dancer uses feathers. Even before the Israeli military action, Egyptians did not allow Palestinians free access into their country. Since 1948 every country that gave them refuge has suffered civil war because of them. No one wants the Palestinians. They are a curse to anyone who gives them safe harbor, or any quarter.

FTA: "U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric called the order “impossible” without “devastating
humanitarian consequences.” Will someone please pass the word to the woke U.N. spokesman that
beheading innocent babies has "devastating humanitarian consequences?"
Get the U.S. out of the U.N. and the U.N. out of the U.S., please.

Screw the UN and corrupt fools like Joe Biden that preach restraint, go get 'em Israel. Some relatives of the hostages have stated that they are willing to see their friends and families die rather than have Hamas use them as pawns.

One of the victims cell phones used to show the hostage gave a location of southern Gaza. They should do a misdirection, tell people to move out of the north and attack the south. Hamas has told their citizens not to obey orders from Israel because they like using their people as human shields that they can get good PR from when they die. The Gazans elected Hamas; they'll get what they deserve.

If the shoe was on the other foot, the bad guys wouldn't worry about evacuations.
Have to wonder if part of the planning of this massacre was to stockpile food and water.

The relatively safe movement of 1.1 million people out of an urban area the size of northern Gaza over a 24 ÷/- hour period is doable - refer to the panicked, chaotic movement of 2.5 million people out of the city of Houston mostly on September 21, 2005 in fear of a suspected category 5 hurricane (fizzled.) The problem is Egypt doesn't want them for existential reasons. By the way, Friday there is like a Sunday here because of religious practices.

Consequences they are sooo deserving of! The filthy scum elected or allowed HAMAS to run their country...They ALL deserve to die a painful humiliating death!

If Israel had said “we demand all of North Gaza to dawn a suicide vest and attack a pizza parlor of your choosing”, there would be a mass exodus from Gaza.

Scott McKay’s #2 point at the American Spectator is hugely educational.
I didn’t realize that many people live in Gaza. And they seem to wreak havoc wherever they live.
NO ONE wants them. They’re lucky they got a spot of land from Israel.
Ironic, They are living on land given to them by Jews when none of the other Arab nations will do anything.

I've heard that Hamas is actually preventing people from leaving Gaza, preferring to keep the civilians as human shields. Hamas leadership is safety hiding out far from the war zone like cowards.

Gaza is only six miles wide... 25 miles long.. Normal walking pace is 4 mph. They can all walk out of the evac area in under 4 hrs.
Hamas "Govt" will then have to deal with very large numbers of "Innocent Civilians" in very large groups, many demanding that Hamas release the hostages and/or surrender arms. As the evacuated areas are cleared or flattened, Israel can allow "Innocent Civilians" to pass through checkpoints back into them, where humanitarian aid can be delivered..., in exchange for intelligence. "Fighting age" individuals may have to be swabbed for Gunpowder residue, anyone with it on their hands? Is either sent back, or into a seperate POW area.
I'm a bit "vengeful" perhaps, I would also order entire ship loads of hogs/pigs to be delivered, by the tens of thousands...then released into the streets.

There is Palestinian territory in the West Bank between Israel and Jordan. Note that they have not lifted a finger to help their Palestinian brethren. The Gazans have long since worn out their welcome throughout the region.

#18 has a good idea, which is to zip the dead Hamas fighters into pigskins, which means they will never, ever go to their whorehouse "Helen Thomas heaven" after coming into contact with pork or pork molecules. Utterly impossible, and they know it. That's how to "kick them in the balls of their faith," as Dr. Wheeler once wrote.

Hamas was VOTED into power by these same people that now need to evacuate.
Hard to believe that with all the planning and likely stockpiling that went into this, they did not know what was coming. I would be willing to bet they were handing out candy in the streets following the attack, as they were on 9/11.
It is sad that the children are forced to live in this society that their parents have chosen, but history has shown that they grow up to hate in the same way. Some of the children who got candy on the street on 9/11 were likely involved in this attack.

And so the siege begins. What to do now, hamas? No water, no food, and no electricity now for over a week. Enjoy your hunger, thirst, and darkness. Not sure how Israel is going to know who amongst the 1.1 million palestinians being evacuated are hamas fighter trying to blend into the crowd.
It will get mighty interesting when the IDF goes house to house. They must watch out for booby traps. Unfortunately, they will also find the corpses of the hostages.

#16 is right. I heard on the radio this morning that Hamas is telling the residents of Gaza that this evacuation order is just a political stunt and to stay in place. They want dead civilians, not only as human shields but for their propaganda.

No Middle East country is going to receive the Hamas supporting 2.2 million or so Gazan Palestinians into their countries, to give the Israelis and easy road to wipe out the Gazan Hamas terrorists and create a Palestinian terrorist organization in their countries. Egypt borders the Gaza Strip on the South and has made that clear. Nearby Jordan also will not accept any Palestinian people into Jordan and has in the past expelled Palestinians found in their territories to Lebanon. So that leaves about 2.2 million Palestinians in Israel’s way to destroy Hamas in Gaza.
From what we have seen from Biden and his crew it is not out of the realm of possibility that Biden, his crew, and the leftist and socialist Democrats, supported by some RINOS, will attempt to bring those Palestinians to the USA as asylum seekers and refugees and resettle them in an area of the USA where there are no nearby Jews, especially if Biden and his crew come to believe that those Palestinians can easily be transformed to be a new leftist and socialist Democrat constituency group of supporters and future voters by way of Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesties and other legalization programs sold to the American people as being a Democrat designed and needed so-called “comprehensive immigration reform” that would also include all illegal liens in the USA. Even before that happens in the Democrat run cities and other places where illegal aliens most all being economic migrants, who are being fraudulently referred to as being asylum seekers and refugees can get issued U.S. drivers licenses, those aliens are automatically registered to vote in U.S. elections in accordance with the Clinton era Motor-Voter laws that also provides that local voter registrars are prohibited from verifying the citizenship status of applicants or drivers licenses who are also automatically registered to vote, thereby turning the U.S. voter registration system into an honor system making it very easy for aliens of all sorts to unlawfully vote in U.S. elections.

It isn't an order it is a suggestion. The Israelis don't want to kill civilians and they plan to level the place. Those Palestinians better get themselves better leaders.

Hamas leadership is living comfortably in Quatar. Israel should demand they be arrested and given up. Israel did not order them to leave in 24 hours, they advised them to leave for their safety in the next few days, and to move south of the dry river bed that cuts Gaza in half. Israel will begin a ground invasion soon, but there is no hurry, as all electricity, water, and food has been cut off from Gaza. A week or more without necessities will further weaken their enemy, before putting IDF ground forces in harm's way.

To be “humanitarian” they should line up cruise ships to take the Palestinians to Iran where the Iranians can build new cities for them.

Unlike Hamas whose goal is to slaughter as many helpless and innocent people as possible, Israel gives a warning to the innocent to get out of the way. I would bet that Hamas is preventing a lot of these human shields from leaving.
