Egypt has stated that it will not allow the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza and their forceful expulsion from the area. Israel began its aggressive attacks on Gaza to ethnically cleanse its residents on October 7, 2023. Over the past two years, Israel has killed more than 64,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 18,430 children. Palestinian health authorities reported that in the past 24 hours alone, 54 people were killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza. While Israel continues to block aid supplies to Gaza, many people are also dying due to starvation.
In recent days, Egypt has increased its harsh rhetoric regarding Israeli Israeli actions. Egypt’s statement that Palestinians cannot be forced to leave their homeland comes at a time when Israel is threatening Gaza City residents to evacuate to other areas. Thousands of Gaza residents have refused to comply with Israeli orders. Speaking to journalists, Egypt’s Foreign Minister, Badr Abdel-Aty, said that forcing Gaza residents to move to other areas is unacceptable and a red line that cannot be crossed. He added that Egypt will not allow this to happen.
Badr Abdel-Aty further stated that forcing Gaza residents to move to other areas would mean the end of the Palestinian struggle for rights, and that there is no legal or moral justification for expelling Gaza residents from their homeland. Reiterating Egypt’s current accusations that Israel is committing genocide against Gaza’s residents, Badr Abdel-Aty added that the situation unfolding in Gaza is beyond imagination. He said that Israel is indeed committing genocide against Gaza’s residents and deliberately starving them.
On August 10, Zionist Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced plans to expand military operations throughout Gaza and bring the entire area under Israeli control and colonization. While it is believed that 40 percent of Gaza City is currently under Israeli control, the entire city has been devastated and deserted due to Israeli attacks. Thousands of Gaza residents are living among collapsed buildings.
