Egypt has strongly denied US press reports circulating in some newspapers about its circulation with Israel of military plans regarding the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
In a statement issued by the Egyptian Information Service affiliated with the presidency, its chairman, Diaa Rashwan, affirmed Egypt’s total rejection of any possible invasion of Rafah, warning of the catastrophic repercussions that may follow.
The statement pointed out that Egypt’s warnings were repeatedly addressed to the Israeli side regarding the dangers of the planned invasion of Rafah, while stressing the continuation of Egyptian efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and the exchange of prisoners and detainees.
As Israel continues its ongoing war on Gaza, Egyptian officials insist on focusing on humanitarian aid entering the Strip and providing health care to the wounded and wounded, as fighting continues despite international calls for an immediate stop.
