Scammers Target Gazans Trying to Escape Genocide

Fake websites acting as official offices to assist individuals in migrating from the "Gaza Strip" to European nations, including Canada, Australia, Spain, Belgium, and Malaysia, have recently come up. They try to take advantage of the people by fooling them into thinking they will be able to evacuate the Gaza Strip.

By working with the Israeli side and the International Committee of the Red Cross for Palestine, these questionable organizations demand high and irrational sums exceeding $4,000 in exchange for safely and quickly evacuating citizens within days via the Kseifim or Kerem Shalom crossings. They deceitfully tell people that they will evacuate them in cooperation with them.

That has advanced to the point of persuasion where these fake organizations promise to stay with the citizens until the very last minute, securing their admission and offering them food, drink, shelter, and health insurance in an effort to protect them and aid in their escape. Those who are suffering and facing death find them seductive.

Forced not Voluntary Migration

Both U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have made it clear time and again that they want to force the people of the Gaza Strip to evacuate their homes under the pretext of voluntary migration. Netanyahu made this statement with the intention of driving the Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip in a planned, systematic process.

According to media sources from the newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth," Netanyahu has essentially raised limitations on entry through the Israeli Mossad to nations outside of Egypt. He has repeatedly called for the end of talks with Hamas and the military occupation of the Gaza Strip to maintain the power of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and his far-right Jewish Power party. The Israeli government promised him that "if the negotiations fail, Israel will start in the first weeks to deport thousands of Gazans to other countries."

Netanyahu also has a strong desire to force the Palestinians out of Gaza. He meets regularly with officials from the Israeli Mossad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other organizations to discuss this issue, allocating tasks for improving communication with the nations he wants to drive the Palestinians to. This expulsion will take place via Israel and Jordan, respectively.

 Dubious and Dishonest Organizations

These dubious and dishonest organizations have taken advantage of the Palestinian people, who are fleeing the Gaza Strip in search of safety, in exchange for their suffering from murder, starvation, loss, destruction, and genocide. Over 22 months have passed, during which they have been killed and starved because what they are going through is more than they can handle. These exploitative groups are their only hope of survival since everyone is drowning in an endless sea of blood.

The issue of immigration is no longer a concern as it once was because, like many others, they are fleeing the murder and the threat of death they encounter every minute. In the face of the most powerful explosive weapons, robots, tanks, and heavy planes, the issue has surpassed humanity and human dignity, as if he is on a level with the Israeli enemy in terms of force and acts in fight and murder.

Massive amounts of money were supposed to be taken for a fake exit by these deceptive organizations, only discovered by a gang that stole their funds and shut down their platforms. For individuals who hoped to live a decent life before passing away, this trap is comparable to hell. Not to mention that they captured private information that might have been obtained by security data or suspicious people, placing them in danger.

 Palestinian dispossession began long before October 7

The Palestinian academic Dr. Mohammed Qunaita, who made this statement in a special interview with the Kuwaiti newspaper "Al-Mujtama," said Israel's intention of pushing Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip is not a novel idea; rather, it has been pursued by all Israeli governments, who have made tireless attempts to forcibly and willingly drive Palestinians off their land, despite Palestinian attempts to thwart Israeli plans. But now, the Netanyahu administration has used the October 7 events as a pretext and a chance to consciously, openly, and freely carry out its immigration plan.

The issue was made obvious through repeated discussions with the nations that the Trump and Netanyahu governments convened, but many nations that rejected the Palestinians found the idea unappealing. With an assault plane, it appears simple to drive two million Palestinians from their land, but the planes' landing is a blow to the Palestinian cause, particularly given that the conflict among the Palestinians is an "armed struggle for existence." The army's intentional displacement efforts, which include evacuating the population and destroying all buildings, are also intended to keep Gazans from rebuilding or even returning.

For the past 22 months, they have been tormented by a terrible reality that they can only escape from Gaza. Able to evacuate as many people as possible from the Gaza Strip in support of safety and peace, particularly in light of the horrific pictures and life-threatening devastation, the Palestinians decided to leave the shock of the lack of security, stability, health care, and education.

According to Dr. Qunita, Netanyahu is concerned about the demographic issue. Israel is now under danger due to the Palestinian occupation, demographic growth, and the growing number of Palestinians. As a result, particularly after structures were destroyed, Netanyahu's government turned to a land inventory system and life deprivation. As a result, the only choice left to Gazan citizens is to think about migration, which is imminent and unattractive, making it a strategic objective for Netanyahu.

Despite the Israeli occupation's many years of efforts to move thousands of Palestinians off their land, Dr. Qunaita says that Palestinian society is renowned for its patience and determination on its own land. He does, however, claim that Israel's approach, which has increased the degree of Palestinian devastation and agony, may cause Gazans to seriously consider leaving their country in an attempt to find a better life, to maintain what little humanity they still possess, and to save their lives.

Saving their lives, particularly in light of the utter destruction of the reality of health, education, and security. People might think about voluntary migration for all of these reasons. With Arab assistance, all Palestinian forces and decision-makers must now take a positive and firm stand in response to the pressure being placed on Gaza to prevent the extinction of the Palestinian presence.

The most important component of the Palestinian cause is the Palestinian person, and it is crucial that they remain on the land of Palestine and confront the occupation from the land of Palestine, passing from generation to generation, while remaining steadfast in their land. The struggle will lose its impact if the Palestinians are scattered outside the borders of Palestine.

The role of the Red Cross Committee  

Based on requests from various nations' consular services, the Palestinian Red Cross Committee verified that it helped move its citizens and their families to the Kerem Shalom crossing point, where consular personnel awaited them to resume their journey to their home countries, allowing them to be reunited with their loved ones. Third-country citizens and members of the most vulnerable families who require care and support from their relatives overseas were included in this group.

The International Committee's duty of carrying out such initiatives is restricted to facilitation. In the past five months, about 300 families have been evacuated from Gaza at this time. Ensuring safe travel within the sector's boundaries is the extent of the Committee's work. The International Committee's humanitarian mandate, which includes aiding the most vulnerable populations, guaranteeing family reunification, and maintaining family bonds, serves as the foundation for this activity.

The committee confirmed that it has recently received numerous inquiries from individuals wishing to travel outside Gaza. To clarify our specific role in this regard, we share with them the same information mentioned above regarding any operations of this kind, as the International Committee of the Red Cross has noted that its role is to organize and secure, and it has no connection with any organizations claiming to be affiliated with the committee.

The International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza aims to exploit people morally and materially. Still, the truth is just lies and illusions intended to entice people and steal their money under the guise of the International Committee. However, the humanitarian support provided by the International Committee of the Red Cross is always free of charge, and it has no private sector partners that charge fees for services. They have repeatedly warned against being cautious of these dubious organizations.
