Egypt denounces ‘malicious propaganda' against its supportive stance on Palestine - Foreign Affairs

Egypt strongly condemned what it described as a "malicious propaganda campaign" launched by certain groups and organizations seeking to distort Egypt's supportive stance toward the Palestinian cause. Egypt also rejected the "baseless accusations" alleging its involvement in the blockade of Gaza or obstructing humanitarian aid deliveries, according to a statement issued on Thursday by the Egyptian foreign ministry. The statement emphasized 'the superficiality and lack of logic in these baseless accusations, which contradict not only Egypt's official position but also its national interests.' The claims ignore the significant role Egypt has played—and continues to play—since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the statement said. This includes Egypt's tireless efforts to broker a ceasefire, lead humanitarian relief operations, and facilitate the entry of aid through the Rafah crossing. Egypt has also spearheaded efforts to draft and promote a Gaza reconstruction plan that was adopted by Arab states and supported by several international parties. This plan focuses on rescuing innocent Palestinians in Gaza, delivering humanitarian aid, and initiating early recovery and reconstruction phases. These efforts 'are in line with Egypt's unwavering stance aimed at ensuring the Palestinian people's resilience and ability to remain on their land, while resisting forced displacement, land seizure, and attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause,' read the statement. Egypt accused "malicious organizations and entities" of orchestrating propaganda campaigns aimed at fostering distrust among Arab populations and diverting international attention from the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Cairo reiterated that the Rafah crossing, a key gateway for aid, has never been closed on the Egyptian side and that the crossing on the Palestinian side is "occupied by the Israeli occupation authorities, which prevents access through it." Egypt urged caution regarding the 'deliberate lies' exploiting the suffering of Palestinians under occupation to serve 'malicious narratives." 'These narratives are nothing more than part of psychological warfare designed to frustrate Arab peoples, create division and discord among them, and serve well-known intentions to liquidate the Palestinian cause," the statement underscored. Additionally, the statement affirmed Egypt's ongoing commitment to alleviating suffering in the Gaza Strip, securing a ceasefire, facilitating humanitarian aid delivery, and initiating reconstruction efforts. It also pledged to continue working towards unifying the West Bank and Gaza Strip, ensuring Palestinian territorial contiguity, and launching a political process for a two-state solution with East Jerusalem as the capital, based on international law and the June 4, 1967 lines. As many as 166 aid trucks entered Gaza on Wednesday through dawn Thursday through the Zikim crossing in the northern strip of Gaza and Karm Abu Salem in the southern strip, according to the Egyptian news channel Al-Qahera News. The aid shipments are the largest since Israel imposed an all-out blockade on the strip on 1 March, which pushed most of the 2.3 million Palestinians into a famine. They come amid widespread condemnation by dozens of international aid organisations and Western, Arab, and muslim nations of the Israeli policies of starving Gazans.
