Egypt condemns continued Israeli military expansion in Gaza

Egypt on Monday condemned the continued expansion of Israeli military aggression in Gaza and its continuous violation of international humanitarian law, in contrary to the global desire to end the war on Gaza and halt escalating tensions in the region.

Egypt affirmed in a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry that Israel’s failure to respond to the deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar as part of efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza Strip reflects a complete lack of interest to de-escalate and establish peace.

The statement said that this indicates that Israel clearly intends to continue its war against innocent people in the Gaza Strip, which will worsen the catastrophic situation in Gaza especially given the starvation and blockade policies Israel is utilizing against defenseless civilians.

Egypt categorically rejects Israel’s aggressive approach, which has exacerbated the situation in the region and placed it on a collision course that only portends further conflict.

This, it said, is all due to Israel’s disregard for the tireless efforts exerted to de-escalate the situation and halt the war on the Gaza Strip, its continued expansion of settlement policies in the Palestinian territories, and its retreat from the peace process based on the two-state solution, which is supported regionally and internationally.
