Egypt has firmly condemned the current Israeli practices and violations in Gaza and the West Bank, and recent Israeli provocative actions, including the recent announcement of plans to build a synagogue in the Al-Aqsa Mosque Complex.
This came during a meeting in Cairo with a delegation from the U.S. Congress, headed by Senator Joni Ernst, where President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi cautioned about the severe consequences of the recent Israeli escalation in the West Bank.
On Gaza, El-Sisi reiterated Egypt's dedication to collaborating with its active allies to bring an end to the ongoing Israeli conflict, which has resulted in a humanitarian crisis.
Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigration, noted that Egypt held Israel legally responsible for maintaining the status quo at Al-Aqsa and for protecting Islamic and Christian holy sites.
Egypt called on Israel to fulfill its obligations as an occupying power and cease provocative statements that may escalate tensions in the region.
It affirmed that such irresponsible comments complicate the situation in the Palestinian territories, obstruct efforts toward a truce and ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, and threaten the prospects for a final settlement of the Palestinian issue which should be based on the two-state solution with an independent Palestinian state established along the borders of June 4, 1967, and East Jerusalem as its capital.
