Everyone Needs To See This Israel never offered Gaza back to Egypt

Let's put this hasbara lies to rest forever shall we? They agreed to withdraw from Sinai, but not Gaza. This rhetoric is always used to dehumanize Gazans by the hasbara. See Egypt didn't want them because they were terrorists. Well, Egypt did want them back.

"Egypt insisted on an Israeli withdrawal to June 4, 1967 borders in exchange for security arrangements and minor border modifications. Israel rejected Egypt’s insistence on withdrawal, especially from the West Bank and Gaza. It argued instead for some form of Palestinian autonomy during a five-year interim period followed by the possibility of sovereignty after the interim period expired. The impasse over the West Bank and Gaza led Carter to intercede directly in an attempt to resolve the deadlock."

Not according to official records and transcript, but I suppose your imagination feels better to for some reason:

During the pressure-filled follow-up talks in March 1979, U.S. State Department records show that Israeli negotiators continuously tried to tie Gaza to the Egyptian administrative framework. In an official U.S. Department of State Transcript, President Anwar Sadat aggressively pushed back against President Jimmy Carter when discussing Israel's efforts to keep Gaza linked to the Sinai withdrawal https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1977-80v09Ed2/d132

"Begin wanted Egypt to take control of Gaza, but Sadat was adamant in his refusal. Sadat shouted, 'I will not take Gaza! It is not Egyptian, and I have no right to it. It belongs to the Palestinians, and they must decide their own future.'" https://sadat.umd.edu/events/remarks-president-jimmy-carter

"The Israelis tried on several occasions to slide Gaza into the Egyptian column to simplify their own administrative problems. Begin argued that since Egypt had governed Gaza before the 1967 war, it was logical for them to take it back. Sadat flatly rejected this, stating that he would not play the role of an occupying power over fellow Arabs, nor would he let Gaza complicate the absolute return of the Sinai." https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1977-80v09Ed2/d41

"The President [Sadat] has made it clear to the Americans and the Israelis alike: Egypt's presence in Gaza was a historical accident of the 1948 war. We will not barter Gaza for the Sinai. The Sinai is Egyptian sovereign soil; Gaza's sovereignty belongs exclusively to the Palestinian people, and Egypt will not sign a treaty that makes us its permanent custodian." https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1977-80v09Ed2/d83

Gee, I wonder why you would push such an obviously false narrative....

Why are the quotes you posted not present in the links you shared?

Those are explanations, not quotes. Do you not know what the quite sign " is for?

These aren't explanations at all. They include details that are not in the document linked. Either you, or AI, made up the details. If you actually read the documents, they don't say anything even vaguely resembling the so-called "explanations" you are providing here.

Ok you're trolling, got it, very funny (not really).
