The Arab Republic of Egypt stressed, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, today, Sunday, its complete rejection of the statements issued by high-level officials in the Israeli government regarding the intention of the Israeli forces to launch a military operation in the city of Rafah, south of Gaza, warning of the dire consequences of such an action, especially in light of what… It is fraught with the risk of worsening the humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip
Egypt called for the necessity of uniting all international and regional efforts to prevent the targeting of the Palestinian city of Rafah, which now houses nearly 1.4 million Palestinians who were displaced there because it is the last safe area in the Gaza Strip.
It considered that targeting Rafah, and Israel’s continued policy of obstructing the access of humanitarian aid, as an actual contribution to implementing the policy of displacing the Palestinian people and liquidating their cause, in clear violation of the provisions of international law, international humanitarian law, and the relevant resolutions of the Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly.
The Arab Republic of Egypt affirmed that it will continue its contacts and movements with various parties, in order to reach an immediate ceasefire, enforce the truce, and exchange prisoners and detainees, calling on influential international powers to intensify pressure on Israel to respond to these efforts, and to avoid taking measures that further complicate the situation. It causes harm to the interests of everyone without exception.
