Egypt has rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks in U.S. media, calling them “misleading accusations.” The Israeli leader claimed Egypt was preventing Gazans from leaving, a statement Cairo denies.
Egypt’s foreign ministry issued a statement late Sunday disapproving of Netanyahu’s comments, which were made in an interview with Fox News. Netanyahu accused Egypt of restricting Palestinian movement, claiming that only the wealthy could escape Gaza by bribing gatekeepers. He added that Palestinians should be given the option to relocate.
Cairo did not specify which remarks it was addressing but firmly dismissed the accusations. Egypt has played a key role in Gaza’s humanitarian efforts, overseeing aid deliveries and border crossings.
The dispute comes amid heightened tensions over the war in Gaza. Egypt has repeatedly warned against any forced displacement of Palestinians, arguing that such actions would destabilize the region and violate international law.
While Egypt has not provided further details, its response underscores ongoing diplomatic strains between the two countries as the conflict continues.
