In response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s words about controlling the Gaza Strip’s border with Egypt, the representative of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Abu Zeid, said that Cairo fully controls its own borders. He told Zeid TV channel Sada El Balad.
“Egypt has full control of its borders and these issues are governed by legal and security agreements between the countries involved, so any discussions on this issue are carefully examined and positions are stated in response,” Zeid said.
Before that Netanyahu statedThat Israel intends to reach the Egyptian border and take control. According to him, full control of the Gaza Strip’s border with Egypt is one of the prerequisites for ending hostilities against the radical Palestinian movement Hamas in the region.
Netanyahu is confident that if “this hole” is not closed, other militants will pass through here and new military equipment and weapons will arrive.
formerly South African diplomat statedIsrael’s actions in the Gaza Strip cannot be called self-defense.
