Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry relayed Egypt's refusal on Saturday to legitimize "Israel's" actions as self-defense, as they are killing civilians of Gaza and are unjustified.
During a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi, Shoukry said, "There can be no justification for the deaths of civilians in Gaza ... We will not accept attempts to justify these actions as a legitimate right to self-defense."
He further added that exploiting civilians as targets by "Israel" and its attempts to forcefully displace Palestinians "cannot be considered a right to self-defense."
On his part, Al-Safadi affirmed that other Arab nations echoed Shoukry's view in refusing to consider "Israel's" actions "self-defense."
This follows yesterday's high-profile meeting in Amman, which hosted the foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and the Palestinian Authority to coordinate a ceasefire in Gaza. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken later joined in.
Blinken expressed pain over the killings of whom he called innocent Palestinians, yet only after he reiterated "Israel's" right to "defend itself", which means continued indiscriminate bombing.
In the latest, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al-Qudra, confirmed shortly after midnight today that 47 individuals were martyred, and several have been wounded as a result of the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation in Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp.
Al-Qudra noted that a significant number of serious injuries had accumulated on the ground outside the emergency department of the Indonesian Hospital: adding that the majority of the martyrs and wounded from the Al-Maghazi massacre were children and women.
