Egypt worries that Palestinians will be pushed across the border.

Imní ar an Éigipt go mbrúfar Palaistínigh trasna na teorann.

The Egyptian Government says it has no intention of allowing the Palestinian Israelis living in the southern Gaza city of Rafah to be pushed across the border when the Israeli Army makes a major invasion of the city as they have promised.

Deir Rialtas na hÉigipte nach bhfuil aon rún acu ligean do na hIosraelaigh Palaistínigh atá ag cur fúthu i gcathair Rafah i ndeisceart Gaza a bhrú trasna na teorann nuair a dhéanfas Arm Iosrael mórionradh ar an gcathair mar atá geallta acu.

The Israelis have said many times that they have vowed to launch an all-out invasion of Rafah and have been retaliating against it for several weeks.

Tá sé ráite go minic ag na hIosraelaigh go bhfuil siad mionnaithe ionradh uileghabhálach a dhéanamh ar Rafah agus tá iad ag déanamh téisclime lena aghaidh sin le roinnt seachtainí.

International leaders have asked the Israelis just as often not to go ahead with the invasion because of the damage that will certainly be done to the public.

Tá iarrtha chomh minic céanna ag ceannairí idirnáisiúnta ar na hIosraelaigh gan dul ar aghaidh leis an ionradh mar gheall ar an ár is cinnte a thabharfar ar an bpobal ansin dá bhíthin.

Not to mention the million people who lived in Rafah before the Israelis started waging war on Gaza last autumn, their refugee sauce has also been wedged into it since then.

Gan trácht ar an milliún duine a bhí ina gcónaí in Rafah sular thosaigh na hIosraelaigh ag fearadh cogadh ar Gaza an fómhar seo caite, tá a n-anlann teifeach dingthe isteach ann ó shin freisin.

Despite what the Egyptians said today, they also indicated that they would have to cooperate with the Israeli military forces in terms of security since Rafah is located on the border with Egypt.

In ainneoin a ndúirt na hÉigiptigh inniu, thug siad le fios chomh maith go mbeadh orthu dul i gcomhar le fórsaí míleata Iosrael maidir le cúrsaí slándála ó tá Rafah suite ar an teorainn leis an Éigipt.

It cannot be said, they said, that they will support the invasion.

Ní hin le rá, a dúirt siad, go mbeidh siad ag tacú leis an ionradh.

As per the Israeli plan to do so, it is reported that they have bought 40,000 tents with room for twelve in each, with the hope of housing civilians who will be evacuated from Rafah before the invasion.

Mar leis an téisclim atá na hIosraelaigh a dhéanamh, tuairiscítear go bhfuil 40,000 puball a bhfuil áit i ngach ceann acu do dháréag ceannaithe acu le súil sibhialtaigh a aslonnófar ó Rafah roimh an ionradh a chur a chónaí iontu.

It seems that some of the tents have already been erected in the city of Khan Younis, five kilometers north of Rafah.

Is cosúil go bhfuil cuid de na pubaill curtha suas cheana féin i gcathair Khan Younis, cuig chiliméadar ó thuaidh ó Rafah.

If this is the case, the Israelis are determined to get as many civilians as possible out of Rafah before the invasion, it is estimated that they will not have made all their preparations for at least a month.

Más amhlaidh atá na hIosraelaigh meáite ar an oiread sibhialtach agus is féidir a thabhairt amach as Rafah roimh an ionradh, meastar nach mbeidh gach uile úmachan déanta acu go ceann míosa ar a laghad.
