Egypt issued a sharp condemnation of Israel’s latest military strikes in Gaza on Saturday, citing severe violations of international peace.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry urgently appealed for restraint among all parties to preserve a fragile, United States-brokered ceasefire agreement.
This diplomatic friction ignites just as the vital Rafah border crossing prepares for a highly anticipated, albeit limited, reopening.
Tragedy struck earlier when Gaza’s civil defense agency reported that Israeli aerial strikes claimed the lives of twenty-eight people.
Despite the escalating violence, Israeli officials still intend to open the Rafah gates this Sunday on a trial basis.
Current protocols restrict movement to people only, while the desperate flow of humanitarian aid remains strictly prohibited for now.
Egypt’s stern statement highlights the precarious nature of the truce as the region balances on a razor’s thin edge.
Global observers watch intently, hoping the small glimmer of mobility at the border does not vanish amidst renewed conflict.
