Egypt strongly condemned the Israeli forces’ deliberate bombing of displaced persons’ tents in the Palestinian city of Rafah, which resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries of innocent civilians.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed, in a statement today, that this tragic event is a continuation of the continued targeting of defenseless civilians, and a systematic policy aimed at expanding the scope of killing and destruction in the Gaza Strip to make it unlivable.
Egypt called on Israel to comply with its legal obligations as an occupying power, and to implement the measures issued by the International Court of Justice regarding the immediate cessation of military operations and any other measures in the Palestinian city of Rafah.
Egypt renewed its call to the Security Council and influential international parties for the necessity of immediate intervention to ensure an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and to end military operations in the Palestinian city of Rafah, stressing the inevitability of the international community assuming its legal and humanitarian responsibility towards providing protection to Palestinian civilians and preventing their exposure to life-threatening risks. .
