The Arab Republic of Egypt held key international parties responsible for the severe deterioration of the situation in the Gaza Strip due to their failure to act against the crimes and genocide committed by the Israeli occupation, emphasizing the need to uphold human rights and the rule of law.
Egypt condemned the launch of the Israeli military operation in Gaza City, describing the operation as a dangerous escalation and a blatant violation of international humanitarian law. It emphasized that this operation demonstrates Israel’s insistence on pursuing reckless policies with grave repercussions for the situation in the occupied Palestinian Territory and the entire region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry warned of the catastrophic risks posed by the Israeli military operations, as the region stands on the brink of a new phase of widespread chaos. It emphasized that such reckless arrogance will inevitably harm the interests of all regional and international parties without exception.
Egypt called for genuine steps to end the war on the Gaza Strip and to save the lives of Palestinians there, after the Israeli war machine has killed nearly 65,000 Palestinians since the beginning of the war, wounded hundreds of thousands, and devastated infrastructure.
It further emphasized the grave consequences of the Israeli military operations on the overall humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, particularly under the siege and suffering imposed on the Palestinian people there, compounded by mass displacement, starvation, and assaults accompanying the ongoing military campaign.
