Egypt expressed yesterday its categorical rejection of the statements made by the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who sought to dragging Egypt’s name into actions.
This, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, is meant to distract Israeli public opinion, and cripple negotiations- mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the United States- on reaching a ceasefire deal, hinder the exchange of captives and detainees.
Egypt also reaffirmed its total rejection of all allegations made by Israeli officials in this context.
The ministry stressed that Egypt holds the Israeli government accountable for the consequences of such statements, which serve to worsen the crisis, by justifying aggression and the provocative policies and contribute to further escalating the situation in the region.
Egypt reaffirms its commitment to playing its historical role in advancing the peace process in the Middle East in preservation of security and stability for all peoples in the region.
