Mr. Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the
Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, stressed Egypt's
unwavering commitment to defending Palestinian rights. He dismissed the
accusations levelled by the Prime Minister of the occupying state as
mere distractions aimed at prolonging the conflict for personal and
political gains.
Gamal Roshdy, the spokesman for the Secretary-General, quoted Mr. Aboul
Gheit as stating that Israeli justifications have been exposed,
highlighting Netanyahu's reluctance to pursue a ceasefire agreement
despite public awareness of his intentions.
Mr. Aboul Gheit further stated, "Egypt's firm stance against the
presence of Israeli forces in the Philadelphi Corridor is supported by
the Arab nations. It is rooted in the rejection of the re-occupation of
Gaza and holds both legal and political significance. With its recent
actions, particularly Netanyahu's deceitful claims, Israel risks losing
Egypt's pivotal role in the region."
Mr. Aboul Gheit reiterated the call for international pressure on Israel
to swiftly agree to a ceasefire, emphasising the urgent need to save
lives and prevent a perilous escalation in the region.
