Egypt’s Foreign Minister, Badr Abdelatti, has firmly asserted that Egypt has spared no effort in supporting the Palestinian people during the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Speaking in an interview with Cairo News Channel correspondent Salsabeel Selim, the minister declared that "Egypt’s hands are clean", stressing that Egypt continues to provide humanitarian and medical aid by land and air.
Since the beginning of the conflict, Egypt has maintained a steady stream of assistance, even as the situation in Gaza deteriorates under what Abdel Aati described as a systematic starvation policy imposed by Israel.
He emphasized that the legal and humanitarian responsibility rests with the occupying power, Israel, which must immediately open all crossings, including the five Israeli-controlled entry points and the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing.
Abdel Aati criticized the severe restrictions Israel has placed on humanitarian convoys, noting that these measures directly exacerbate the suffering of civilians in Gaza. He called on the international community to recognize these acts as a deliberate tactic to intensify the humanitarian crisis.
The foreign minister also addressed growing online criticism aimed at Egypt’s role, stating:
“Anyone who casts doubt on Egypt’s efforts—whether knowingly or not—is ultimately deflecting blame from the true party responsible for this disaster: Israel.”
He concluded by expressing Egypt’s hope to host a major conference on early recovery and reconstruction for Gaza as soon as a ceasefire is secured, underscoring Egypt’s enduring commitment to the Palestinian cause.
