And indeed, Al-Qaeda is already there. “Netanyahu: Pullout will endanger West,” from the Jerusalem Post, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Finance Minister Binyamin Netanyahu believes that in the aftermath of Israel’s upcoming departure, “Gaza will be transformed into a base for Islamic terrorism adjacent to the coast of the State of Israel.”
In an interview with The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, Netanyahu said the terror threat that would develop in a post-withdrawal Gaza would be a danger not only for Israel but for the Western world in general.
“This it isn’t just our problem,” he claimed.
“It’s the West’s problem as well because forces that are controlled, deployed and cooperate with Iran – and today Hizbullah and Hamas are controlled in a significant way by Iran – will receive an additional base of operations not only in close proximity to Israel’s cities but also on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea not far from Europe.”
