US EditionEgyptian Minister Calls West’s Response to Gaza Suffering Shameful
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, AUG 6 – El-Sisi accuses Israel of genocide and blockade in Gaza, rejects forced Palestinian displacement, and highlights Egypt’s delivery of 70% of humanitarian aid amid stalled relief efforts.
- Amid the Gaza crisis, El-Sisi stated on Tuesday that the conflict is a 'systematic war of genocide' during a press conference with Vietnamese President Lương Công.
- Over 5,000 aid trucks are stalled at the Rafah crossing, with Gaza's 2.3 million Palestinians on the brink of famine due to Israeli restrictions, El-Sisi said.
- El-Sisi flatly rejected Western-backed plans to displace Palestinians into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and affirmed Egypt will remain a humanitarian corridor, rejecting forced displacement as ethnic cleansing.
- In a direct appeal, he urged European leaders and U.S. President Donald Trump to act urgently to secure a ceasefire and delivery of humanitarian aid, saying mediation had reached 'bankruptcy'.
- El-Sisi’s address aligns Cairo with Global South calls, from South Africa’s ICJ genocide case to Russia and China’s vetoes.
