Egypt expresses its strongest condemnation of the Israeli airstrikes that targeted the Gaza Strip at dawn on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, leaving more than 300 Palestinians killed.
This constitutes a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement and a dangerous escalation that threatens to have dire consequences for the stability of the region.
Egypt reiterates its complete rejection of all Israeli attacks aimed at re-igniting tension in the region and thwarting efforts aimed at calming the situation and restoring stability. It calls on the international community to intervene immediately to halt the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and prevent the region from sliding into a renewed cycle of violence and counter-violence. It also calls on all parties to exercise restraint and give mediators the opportunity to complete their efforts to reach a permanent ceasefire.
