Choosing northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp as one of the sites for the handover of the captives is “hugely symbolically significant”, according to Beverley Milton-Edwards, non-resident senior fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs and co-author of Hamas: The Quest for Power.
She told Al Jazeera that “what we are seeing today is an attempt by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad brigades to let the world see the full extent of Israel’s war on Gaza”.
“It is hugely symbolically significant that – as we believe – the captives’ release will take place in the northern Gaza Strip that until a few days ago nobody could get into, and specifically in the [Jabalia] refugee camp that was home to tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees that was completely and utterly destroyed by Israel during those assaults on Gaza,” she added.
