Egypt Blames Israel’s Inflexibility for Failed Gaza Ceasefire Efforts

  • Egypt’s FM criticizes Israel’s lack of political will in ceasefire negotiations.
  • Over 150,000 casualties and severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
  • Egypt reaffirms its commitment to border defense and regional stability.

Egypt’s Foreign Minister, Badr Abdelatty, has accused Israel of blocking efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza by making unrealistic demands and lacking political will.

e expressed frustration that despite significant mediation efforts from Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, several opportunities for releasing captives and halting the violence were missed.

Egypt: Israel’s Inflexibility Prolongs Gaza Conflict, Escalates Regional Tensions

Abdelatty also discussed the regional expansion of the conflict, pointing to Israeli actions in the West Bank and Lebanon, and warned that further escalation could involve countries like Iran. He reaffirmed Egypt’s unyielding position on defending its borders and criticized the international community for its failure to hold Israel accountable. Egypt, alongside Jordan, stands united in rejecting any plans to displace Palestinians to neighboring countries.

The Foreign Minister also discussed the broader implications of the ongoing conflict, highlighting Israel’s military expansion into the West Bank and Lebanon. He warned that any miscalculation could lead to a full-scale regional war, involving countries such as Iran. Abdelatty noted that the region, in desperate need of development and reconstruction, cannot afford such a devastating outcome.

Abdelatty condemned any Israeli plans to forcibly relocate Palestinians, particularly to Egypt’s Sinai region, calling it a direct threat to the Palestinian cause. He stressed that Egypt’s borders are non-negotiable and that its armed forces stand ready to defend the country’s sovereignty. He reaffirmed that Egypt and Jordan are in full agreement on rejecting any such displacements.

Additionally, Abdelatty touched on Egypt’s broader regional efforts, including the ongoing tensions in the Red Sea and Lebanon’s political crisis. He reiterated Egypt’s commitment to stability, both by ensuring freedom of navigation through the Suez Canal and supporting Lebanon’s political process, urging an end to the presidential vacuum without foreign interference.

Egypt’s stance remains firm: without a fair and realistic approach from Israel, peace in Gaza and the broader Middle East will remain elusive. Abdelatty’s warnings about the risks of regional escalation underline the urgent need for diplomatic solutions and respect for international law.

“Arrogance and power have not, and will not, bring Israel security and stability.”
