Egypt reaffirms full rejection of Israeli presence in Philadelphi Corridor, Rafah Crossing

CAIRO (WAM)

Egypt on Monday reiterated its firm stance on the conditions for any ceasefire agreement in Gaza, completely rejecting the presence of Israeli presence in the Philadelphi Corridor and the Rafah crossing in southern Gaza.

In a statement to Egypt's Al-Qahera News TV channel, a high-ranking source said, “The ongoing conflict and the potential for its regional escalation pose significant dangers, with severe consequences on multiple levels.”

The source emphasised that the Israeli government is to blame for failing to reach a ceasefire agreement, accusing it of attempting to impose new realities on the ground to distract from its internal crises.
