Just two weeks after the 10/7 massacres, Egyptian journalist Ibrahim Eissa said this on Egyptian TV: Hamas does not care how many die; They built tunnels to shelter their weapons, instead of women and children.
Egyptian journalist Ibrahim Eissa criticized Hamas in his October 18, 2023 monologue on Al-Kahera wal Nas TV (Egypt), saying that Palestinian lives are cheap to them and they do not care about the Palestinian cause.
He said that Hamas did not prepare bomb shelters in order to protect its women and children, rather, it has prepared underground tunnels in order to shelter its weapons and ammunition.
Eissa said that the result of the October 7 attack is that Hamas is destroying the Palestinian cause altogether, "under the pretext of waging resistance."
He warned that the result of the October 7 attack might be the emigration of more than a million Palestinians or the death of 10,000 Palestinians.
Ibrahim Eissa: "For 16 years, Hamas has been ruling the Gaza Strip with an iron fist, but has not dug and built any bomb shelters for the Palestinian civilians.
The 3,000 people killed [in Gaza] – 64% of whom were women and children – could have been safe in bomb shelters now. Hamas dug tunnels and built an underground city, for its weapons, ammunition, and its means of killing and destruction, but did not build bomb shelters for the living.
Why? Because life is cheap to them.
