Palestinian pilgrims, including some Hamas figures, are stranded at camps in Egypt, demanding to be allowed to return home though a crossing not controlled by Israel.

Two elderly women have died while waiting to be allowed to go.

The pilgrims are returning from performing Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

The pilgrims fear they'll be arrested if they pass through the Aouja crossing, which Israel controls.

And the Egyptian government won't let them through the Rafah crossing, unless an EU official is present.

Al Jazeera is the only international network which has gained access to the area.

  • It;s not even close. Not close!

  • I don't understand how pople not being allowed to go home is good for jews? Please explain.

  • Long Live Israel and the Jewish People!

  • c this is wht u zionists refuse 2 understand. hamas is a RESULT of the occupation. & if most of the israelis wanted a two-state solution then why dont they voice thier opinion to the government? because they r not serious. these stupid peace talks r all just a show- just like oslo. israel & palestine were trying 2 acheive peace & at the very same time israel was expanding and builing new settlements on PALESTINIAN land. real commitment rite?

  • dont talk about wht u dont know or understand. right now there have been 3 major cases all about freedom of speech- Holy Land Foundation, Sami Al- Arian, and al Ashqar cases and many more were all based on the fact that the defendents have different political views than zionists. then tell me what the Patriot Act is? i know wht goes on here because i live here. and the bill of rights have been striped down here just like all the other countries.

  • Israel is another countery that want to destroy another countery and it has done that already. Tey have taken 90% of Palastina and now they want 100%. They say that they want peace but actions speek louder than words and with their actions of killing Palastinians every day they show otherwise. I'm finished with this conversation because you feel Israel is right and I say Palastina is right. Allah will judge who is right or not until then I support Palastina.

  • Before Israel came the jews where living in peace between the Moslims under Moslim rule. It is The Zionism that has ruined that go to nkusa dot org. Those are real Jews.

  • The goverment isn't otherwise they wouldn't continue building in those ereas. And the Goverment also dont want to give up east Jeruzalem where the third Holyst Mosque Al Aqsa is. They keep on building in occupied terrotory and if that continues Fatah wil also come public and join forces with Hamas. But if it is solved they will live in peace nobody wants to fight when they can live in peace on their own lands.

  • I thought the same up until the camp david conference in 1999. i think that both the hamas and the fatah want us out, the only difference between them is that the hamas say it in bublic, and the Fatah say it not in public.. believe me that 805 of the Israelis are ready to a two states slution in 1967 borders.
