Madbouly said in a press conference after the weekly meeting of the government, on Wednesday, that Egypt continues to make its efforts to support the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, “stressing that” the Egyptian position is fixed towards the Palestinian issue, and Egypt has never been late for the introduction of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip since the start of the war until now, but the Israeli intransigence is what impedes the entry of aid “, noting that” Egyptian trucks in front of the outlets have reached 1,200 trucks Loaded with all the goods, and is stopped as a result of intransigence in entering the other side, which led to the damage of the food loaded inside it.
Madbouly continued: “So we make it clear to the citizen that Egypt is very fixed towards the Palestinian issue, and it endured very great losses and is still bearing because of its position, for example, it lost 60 percent of the Suez Canal income because of the war, and we bear all of this, and we will not fail to help our people in Gaza.” He stressed that «Egypt is also making diplomatic efforts in the mediation file on Gaza, and participates in international events related to the Palestinian issue», stressing that “there is no sustainable peace in the region except with the two -state solution and that is the Egyptian vision, and the countries participating in the conference of the two -state solution have adopted the foundations that Egypt calls on the Palestinian issue.”
Madbouly explained that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El -Sisi “has repeatedly affirmed Egypt’s refusal to liquidate the Palestinian issue through displacement plans,” stressing that “the starvation of Gaza population is a war crime that the countries of the world cannot accept,” and expressing “the aspiration to start the process of the reconstruction of Gaza as soon as the war stopped.”
The Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health, Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, spoke at the same press conference, saying that “Egypt bears its responsibilities towards the Palestinian brothers without bidding,” explaining that “38 thousand Egyptian doctors of all medical specialties are working to serve the Palestinian brothers.”
He stressed that “Egypt continues to provide medical and logistical services to receive the Palestinian patients and injured,” and said: “We performed more than 5 thousand surgeries for the injured and patients from the Palestinian brothers.”
The Minister of Social Solidarity, Maya Morsi, also said during the conference that “Egypt paid more than 176 ambulances for the Palestinian side, and set up logistical centers for the Red Crescent in Al -Arish to maintain humanitarian aid, and that the Red Crescent entered about 4,500 tons of aid to the Gaza Strip during the last 4 days.”
The Minister of Solidarity explained that there are “6,300 Palestinian escorts for patients and the injured residing in shelters distributed in the Egyptian governorates, and that the government provides the necessary equipment for shelter points allocated to Palestinian brothers in various governorates.”
Commenting on the speech of the Egyptian Prime Minister and Egyptian ministers, the writer and political analyst specializing in the Israeli and Palestinian affairs, Firas Yaghi, said that “some are trying to undermine Egypt’s reputation to hold responsibility for the systematic starvation process carried out by the Israeli occupation.”
Yaghi added to Asharq Al -Awsat, that “this policy was negatively reflected on the occupation, so that the closest allies of Israel, the United States, did not bear the images of the famine that the Gaza Strip is exposed to, and instead of holding the occupation responsible for all the extermination that occurs through deliberate killing and all means, including starvation, some work to hold Egypt responsible.”
Yaghi stressed that «Egypt stood up and is still with the Palestinian issue, and has been able until now to prevent the occupation plans, especially with regard to displacement, but rather its role was a major in preventing the liquidation of the Palestinian issue and working with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of France and the UAE to raise the concept of the two countries to become a basic title on the agenda of the world, and that this does not come without stopping the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip.
Firas Yaghi, residing in Jerusalem, concluded his speech by saying: “All the salute to Egypt is a leadership and a people for its pioneering role in preventing the displacement and preventing plans to liquidate the Palestinian issue. Palestine is part of the Egyptian national security, and everyone who tries to transform the compass and make false accusations to Egypt, which is not in line with the reality of the situation, we say to him: You are thus serving the policy of the occupation and it seems that what matters to you is not the extent that”.
Egyptian diplomatic embassies and missions in several countries around the world, over the past days, witnessed protests and attempts to “a siege and closure”, claiming that Cairo demands to open the “Rafah crossing” on the borders with the Gaza Strip, and to deliver aid to the families who suffer from “starvation”, despite the frequent official Egyptian assurances that the crossing from the Egyptian side is not closed, and that preventing the entry of aid belongs to the Israeli forces. Dominating the Palestinian side of the crossing.
The Egyptian “Siege of Embassies” abroad comes within “inflammatory campaigns”, which is managed by the “Muslim Brotherhood”, which is banned in Egypt; With the aim of “distorting the Egyptian role in supporting the Palestinian issue,” according to Egyptian officials and parliamentarians.
The campaign began, last week, after one of the Egyptian youth closed the headquarters of the Egyptian embassy in the Netherlands on workers from abroad with locks, claiming that “this is similar to what Egypt is doing to close the Rafah crossing and says that Israel is the one who closes it”, then protests in front of Egyptian embassies in several countries, including Lebanon, Syria, Britain, Denmark, Canada, Tunisia, Libya, and South Africa.
The accusations are called for a hadith dedicated to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El -Sisi, who said in a speech to him: “We cannot prevent the entry of aid … neither our ethics nor our values allow this, not even the envelope or national responsibility allows this.” He pointed out that his speech at this current stage “comes at a time when a lot of speech is raised” regarding Egypt’s position, and said: “I must remind people of our positions, which were always positive, calling for the end of the war, and the two -state solution.”
