Nov 4, 2023 | telegraph.co.uk | Paul Nuki |Lauren Davidson |Keith Perry |Joe Barnes

Hamas delayed the evacuation of wounded Palestinian civilians from Gaza by placing its own fighters on border departure lists. A senior official in Joe Biden's administration said Hamas had repeatedly provided Israel, the United States and Egypt with lists of Palestinians who were wounded and should be allowed to depart - only for it to later emerge during security checks that many of those included were Hamas fighters.
