Can the 2014 unity government explain why فائق المبحوح (the police chief killed at Al-Shifa) had a Palestinian Authority flat in his office? or at least that's the only thing I can fit into what's partly visible there?
There's a gazillion ways to Romanize his first name: Brig. Gen. Fayek / Faiq Mabhouh.
well I'll doomed then if straya ever stops being the safest place on earth
Straya currently has a messed up system where Israelis ferry in easily on tourist visas because we believe they'll leave
Palestinians might be eligible for asylums but there's no legal way for them to enter, because while it's legal to enter on improper paperwork then claim asylum, all their applications will be rejected as "you're not a real tourist we dung think you'll leave"
Americans: if you're thinking of leaving, beware before considering an asylum claim.
"Safe" countries have treaties recognising each other as safe, and do not recognise asylum claims from each other as valid. So if you as an American try to claim asylum there, at the moment you will be automatically rejected.
Instead, travel on a tourist visa. If things get bad for US trans people, this may eventually change.

"Following this, #IDF soldiers broke into the residential building where Mabhough's family lived, blew up the entrance gate and shot inside. When it became clear that Mabhough was outside his apartment, they ordered his family to leave the house and move to the south of the Gaza Strip."
