Israel pursuing genocide, starvation in Gaza: Egypt's el-Sissi

from Daily Sabah

Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi criticized Israel for pursuing "a war of starvation and genocide" in Gaza, as he rejected claims that Cairo blocked life-saving aid from reaching the besieged Palestinian territory.

"The war in Gaza is no longer merely a war to achieve political goals or release hostages," el-Sissi told a news conference in Cairo along with his Vietnamese counterpart.

El-Sissi continued by saying: "This war has long since surpassed any logic or justification, and has become a war of starvation and genocide."

"There is systematic genocide to eradicate the Palestinian cause," he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday Israel must "complete" the defeat of Hamas to free hostages held in Gaza, a day after Israeli media reported the army could occupy the entire territory, in blatant violation of international law.

In Egypt, Iran FM calls for Muslims ‘collective action’ to stop Israeli crimes in Gaza

from PressTV

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have called on Muslim countries to take “collective and effective” measures to end Israel’s crimes in Gaza and the regime’s expansionism and occupation in Lebanon and Syria.

Araghchi, who is in Egypt’s capital of Cairo at the first leg of a two-nation trip, made the remark in a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Monday.

He said the oppressed people of Palestine in Gaza are suffering a “painful” situation as the Israeli regime continues its genocidal war in the besieged Strip.

Since October 7, 2023 when the Israeli regime began its genocidal war in Gaza, more than 54,400 Palestinians have been killed and over 124,100 others injured, most of whom are children and women.

Araghchi further hailed “useful and constructive” consultations and cooperation between the two “important” countries of Iran and Egypt about the ongoing sensitive developments in the region, saying both sides should proceed with interaction.

The Egyptian president, for his part, said his country has made efforts to stop Israeli genocide in Gaza...

Arab League endorses Egypt’s Gaza reconstruction plan at Cairo summit

(I am not a fan of this plan. Whenever a rebuilding plan includes space for 'technocrats' to recreate the nation, that's a red flag. Plus, it simply paves the way for the P.A. to take over in Gaza. That is what Zionist supporters have wanted since Hamas won the election in 2005/2006. Fatah is corrupt and sells out Palestinians to Israelis on a daily basis. And the reconstruction plan seems an awful lot like the Gaza 2035 plan just with the P.A. pretending they are in charge. Lastly, I don't like el-Sissi. He was put in place by John Kerry and ObamaGod when we used them to remove the elected president, Morsi, in a coup. el-Sissi is a globalist tool who will certainly bring in the IMF for the loans getting the people of Gaza locked into debt servitude just like the people of Egypt.)

from PressTV

The Arab League has endorsed an Egyptian plan for the reconstruction of Gaza that ensures the non-displacement of its Palestinian inhabitants.

The plan is presented as an alternative to US President Donald Trump’s widely criticized proposal to assume control of the war-torn Palestinian territory.

The plan was discussed during an extraordinary Arab League summit in Cairo on Tuesday, attended by several Arab heads of state, foreign ministers, and other high-level representatives.

In his opening remarks, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said the plan would ensure Gazans “remain on their land.”

Sisi proposed forming an administrative committee of independent Palestinian professionals to temporarily oversee Gaza's affairs, paving the way for the return of the Palestinian Authority.

Independent Palestinian body to manage Gaza under Egypt's plan

from Daily Sabah

An independent Palestinian body would manage Gaza under the Egyptian plan, which would ensure Palestinians remain on their land, President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said Tuesday, as Arab countries met to discuss the future of the blockaded enclave.

Giving opening remarks at an Arab League summit in Cairo to counter U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to relocate Gazans, el-Sissi said that under the Egyptian plan, Palestinians would "remain on their land" and the territory would be run by a committee of Palestinian technocrats.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said he welcomed the plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip
