Egypt condemns a “dangerous” Israeli development aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause

Egypt affirmed in a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Monday, that “this rejected decision is a new chapter in the blatant and systematic Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law, and constitutes a dangerous development through which Israel aims to liquidate the Palestinian cause and the refugee issue, including the right of return.”

Egypt stressed that the decision “is an unacceptable disdain for the United Nations, its agencies, and the international community.”

Cairo stressed its support for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land, calling for the need for the international community to commit to supporting the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including the right of return, which has no statute of limitations, is guaranteed by human rights and guaranteed by international law.

Egypt warned of “the dire repercussions of this illegitimate decision” on defenseless Palestinian civilians, and the complete collapse of humanitarian work and the vital services that the agency provides to them, and Egypt held the Israeli government fully responsible for the consequences of this decision.

Egypt reiterated, according to the statement, that the role of UNRWA cannot be dispensed with or replaced, and that the Security Council must carry out its role to maintain international peace and security, especially with “the unfortunate international inaction towards the daily suffering that the brotherly Palestinian people is witnessing as a result of the brutal war that is taking place.” launched by Israel.”

Egypt called on the international community to confront these Israeli violations, which seek to restrict services that alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians.

Earlier today, Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz informed the United Nations of the cancellation of the 1967 agreement between Israel and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), after the Knesset last week approved a law requiring the end of UNRWA’s activities in Israel.

**Interview with Dr. Maya‍ El-Sayed, Middle East Political Analyst**

**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Dr. El-Sayed. Egypt recently condemned Israel’s ‍withdrawal from‌ the 1967 agreement regarding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Can you explain why this decision is significant?

**Dr. El-Sayed:** Thank you for having me. This decision is significant because it highlights increasing tensions between Israel and the Arab world, particularly ⁢regarding the Palestinian issue. Egypt views this withdrawal as a violation of‍ international ⁣law that could undermine the rights of Palestinian refugees, undermining their path to return.⁣ It represents a broader goal by ⁢Israel to diminish the prospects‌ for a ⁢viable​ Palestinian​ state.

**Interviewer:** Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described‌ this action as ⁣a “dangerous development.” What impact could⁢ this have on the peace process?

**Dr. ‌El-Sayed:** The implications could be severe. By‍ withdrawing from agreements that support‍ Palestinian refugees, Israel is essentially signaling a lack of commitment to international‌ diplomatic efforts. This could⁣ exacerbate tensions in the region and further alienate Palestinians, making it more challenging to engage in constructive dialogue. Egypt’s statement⁣ suggests⁢ a ⁣fear that this move is an attempt ⁣to negate the Palestinian cause​ altogether.

**Interviewer:** What steps do you think the international community should take in response ‌to this situation?

**Dr. El-Sayed:** The international community must reaffirm its commitment to international law and ‍the rights of refugees. ⁤Countries⁣ and ⁣organizations involved in mediation should push back against such unilateral actions by Israel. Furthermore, we need a unified voice that emphasizes the importance of dialogue ​and negotiation in resolving⁣ these long-standing issues.

**Interviewer:**⁤ what role do you see Egypt playing in addressing this⁢ development?

**Dr. El-Sayed:** Egypt is positioned as a key player ⁢in the region ​due to its historic role‍ in mediating peace talks.​ Cairo could leverage‌ its relationships ⁢with both Palestinians and Israelis ‍to facilitate dialogue and ‌highlight the importance of adhering to international agreements.‌ Additionally, Egypt’s condemnation of Israel’s decision demonstrates its willingness to ⁤stand up for ⁤Palestinian rights on the global ⁢stage.

**Interviewer:** Thank you, ⁢Dr. El-Sayed, for your insights on this complex issue.

**Dr. El-Sayed:** Thank you for having me.
