Amman: Egypt condemned on Monday the continued Israeli military expansion in Gaza, stressing that it violates international humanitarian law and contradicts the global desire to end the war in the Gaza Strip and the resulting regional escalation.
According to Jordan News Agency, in a statement from the Foreign Ministry, Egypt said Israel's failure so far to respond to efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza reflects the Israeli government's complete absence of commitment to de-escalation and the restoration of peace.
The statement added that Israel's clear intent to continue its attacks on civilians in Gaza threatens to exacerbate the humanitarian consequences amid policies of starvation and blockade imposed on the civilian population in the Strip.
