Egyptian MP condemns Israel's brutal war, says it can never erase Palestine
Egyptian media personality and parliamentarian Mostafa Bakry condemned Israel's war on Gaza, stating that no matter how much 'destruction or killing' is involved it can never erase Palestine's identity or presence on its land.
He added that resistance is a legitimate right.
During his show 'Haqayek Wa Asrar' (Facts and Secrets) on Thursday, Bakry warned that what is happening now could drag the region into 'dire consequences that no one can bear.'
He continued that the current situation is 'extremely dangerous', as Israel continues its 'genocide and destruction' in Gaza.
Bakry added that what is happening is harming 'our people and our national security.'
Israel will not be able to expand as it wishes, he said, stressing that 'the Arab nation will remain, and the moment will come when they (the Israelis) will pay the price.'
He extended 'A message I hope every (Zionist) will understand… Netanyahu wants to drive you to hell, and you are the ones who will pay the price for this madness. So stand firm and commit to the reconstruction initiative and political horizon proposed by Egypt.'
'If you want your own interests served, you have this choice. But if you want to bury a people underground, that people will emerge to raise the Palestinian flag, and the land will be liberated, whether you like it or not.'
He noted the Israeli government's arrogance bolstered by the international silence on the genocide it is committing.
Israel will never be able to disarm Hamas because it is a resistance movement, he said, and called for an end to the occupation.
