Egypt condemns continued expansion of the Israeli military aggression on Gaza

Egypt condemned the continued expansion of the Israeli military aggression in Gaza and the persistent violation of international humanitarian law, which completely contradicts the international desire to end the war in the Gaza Strip, according to a statement from the foreign ministry.

Egypt stressed that Israel's failure to respond to the deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar as part of efforts to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip reflects a complete lack of Israeli will to de-escalate and restore calm and peace, and a clear intention to continue its aggression against innocent people in the Gaza Strip, which threatens to double the disastrous consequences on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Egypt categorically rejects this aggressive Israeli approach, which is causing a crisis in the region and putting it on a collision course that portends further escalation and conflict as a result of Israel's disregard for the tireless efforts made to de-escalate and stop the war on the Gaza Strip, in addition to 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.
