SIS: Egypt completely denies any discussion with Israel regarding Rafah invasion

alhadath – cairo

Head of the State Information Service (SIS) Diaa Rashwan categorically denied what was published in one of the major American newspapers, claiming that Egypt had discussed with the Israeli side about its plans for the planned invasion of Rafah.

Rashwan affirmed the firm Egyptian sitiuation announced several times by the political leadership, of complete rejection of this invasion, which will lead to massacres, massive human losses, and widespread destruction, added to what the brotherly Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip suffered during 200 days of bloody Israeli aggression.

Egypt’s repeated warnings had reached the Israeli side – from all channels – since they proposed the idea of carrying out a military operation in Rafah, due to these expected losses, in addition to the extremely negative repercussions that would follow on the stability of the entire region, he explained.

Rashwan added that while Israel is contemplating this invasion, which Egypt and all the countries of the world and its international institutions stand against, the continuous Egyptian efforts since the beginning of the Israeli aggression have focused on reaching a ceasefire agreement and the exchange of prisoners and detainees, in addition to seeking the entry of humanitarian aid to our brothers in Gaza to the sufficient extent, and for all its regions, especially the north and Gaza City, and to evacuate more wounded and sick people for treatment outside the Strip, where almost all health services have ended.
