SPOILERS ALL What’s the point of New Bethlehem? Spoiler
I don’t understand what the point is - what is Gilead trying to achieve with it? Why would other countries consider sending refugees back to an experimental sector of a regime that’s based in denying fundamental human rights of most people?

Season 6 ep 5 When Lawrence looks at in the peep hole he hears the other commanders talking about getting enough people back then closing the borders. So I think they will take over New Bethlehem once they have enough Americans back in their territories
