Egyptian official reacts to Ambush in Khan Yunis that killed four Israeli soldiers
Egyptian journalist and parliamentarian Mostafa Bakry stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's belief that 'occupying Gaza and annihilating many of its people' would force them into submission is merely an 'illusion.' In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Bakry commented on the losses sustained by the Israeli army in battles in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, yesterday. He asserted that 'the catastrophe of the Israeli dead in Khan Yunis confirms that the Palestinian people will not kneel and that the resistance will not end as long as the rights of the Palestinian people remain trampled.' Bakry continued: 'Netanyahu is deluded if he thinks that occupying Gaza and annihilating many of its people is enough to impose a surrender plan. The Palestinian people do not know defeat or kırılma, and peace will only be achieved with the return of rights and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.' On Friday, the Israeli army announced the killing of four soldiers in a building collapse in the Bani Suheila neighborhood of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, due to an explosive device detonating on Friday morning. The Israeli army spokesperson confirmed the deaths of Reserve Major General Chen Gros, 33, a soldier in the Magian unit of the Commando Brigade; Sergeant Yoav River, 19, from the Warburg unit, a soldier in the Yahalom unit of the Combat Engineering Corps; and two other soldiers whose families have been notified but whose names have not yet been authorized for publication. The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the number of Israeli soldiers killed since the start of the war on Gaza has risen to 866 following the ambush in Khan Yunis. Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, commented on the Israeli army's losses. In a statement, he said: 'What the occupation incurred today in losses in Khan Yunis and Jabalia is an extension of a series of qualitative operations, and a model of what the occupation forces will face everywhere they are present.' He added in a statement on the Telegram platform on Friday: 'The enemy public has no choice but to force their leadership to stop the war of annihilation or prepare to receive more of their sons in coffins.'

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.

Israel requests US intervention to dismantle Egypt's military in Sinai, says MP
Egyptian media figure and parliamentarian Mostafa Bakry has launched a scathing attack on Israel after it accused Egypt of violating the peace agreement and requested Washington's intervention to demand Cairo dismantle its military infrastructure in Sinai. In a tweet on his X platform account on Tuesday evening, Bakry stated, 'The Israeli allegations against Egypt that it has violated the peace agreement signed between the two sides are false claims and an attempt to cover up the internal failures of Netanyahu's government.' Bakry continued, 'The matter didn't stop there, but the Israeli Defense Minister is requesting the United States to intervene to demand Egypt dismantle its military infrastructure. Here, it becomes clear that we are facing a plan targeting the Egyptian army and its armament, but they forget the strength of this army and the people behind it. This army protects the national security of the country, and it is a national, honorable army that knows no defeat and accepts no dictates.' He concluded his statement by saying, 'It seems that Israel needs to be reminded of the scene of its army's defeat in the October War of 1973, and as President El-Sisi said: The army that did it once is capable of doing it again.'
