Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi warned today of the dangers of the Israeli occupation forces' incursion into Rafah, South of the Gaza Strip. 

Egypt, according to el-Sisi, is working toward reaching a deal for a ceasefire in Gaza, increasing the entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip, and allowing the displaced Palestinians south of the Strip to return to the North.

The president's statements were recorded during his visit to the police academy, where he discussed the current regional situation, highlighting what security challenges and responsibilities fall on the Egyptian security forces. 

He added that Egypt is seeking to find "a real opportunity of establishing an internationally recognized independent Palestinian state."

Egypt never closed Rafah crossing, 'Israel' hindered aid delivery: FM

Earlier on March 1, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Egypt is actively collaborating with its partners to secure a ceasefire in Gaza before the start of the holy month of Ramadan.

Giving an address during a specialized session at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF) 2024 in Turkey, he touched upon the Israeli plans to invade Rafah, highlighting the dangerous repercussions of the attack on the small city with a 1.4 million population.

He warned that any aggression on Rafah would further deteriorate the catastrophic humanitarian conditions faced by Palestinians in Gaza.

Since the war on Gaza started, Egypt has kept the border crossing with Rafah open to deliver humanitarian aid, but the country's efforts have been hindered by the Israeli occupation entity, the Egyptian foreign minister said
