Relatives of Texans, Jewish and Muslim, remain trapped in Gaza

Silverseren OP , 8 months ago

Considering numerous statements from Israeli government officials on them considering all Palestinians to inherently count as Hamas, I don't see Israel caring about any of the 400 Americans still in Gaza.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The video, which appeared to be posted on social media by Hamas militants, broadcast some of the atrocities committed as part of a violent terrorist attack that split open a decades-old conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories.

In response, Israel launched airstrikes and placed Gaza under siege, cutting off access to water, food and medical supplies to over two million people, which has resulted in a humanitarian crisis among the civilians living in the area.

A group of Americans, 32 members of the Nuestra Señora De Guadalupe church in Cactus, about 60 miles north of Amarillo, returned to Texas last week after becoming stranded during a pilgrimage to Israel, according to U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Amarillo.

Andrew Mahaleris, a spokesperson for Abbott’s office, said that Texas officials have been talking with the federal government, nonprofits and the Consulate General of Israel about the status of Texans impacted by the Hamas attack.

Over the next several hours, Dori-Roberts learned that his aunt, cousin and her two young daughters had been taken hostage midmorning the previous day after Hamas militants stormed the settlement where they were staying.

On Oct. 13, Israel told over 1 million Palestinians to evacuate the northern part of Gaza, where Abushaaban’s mother and younger sister were staying, in advance of an anticipated ground invasion.
