Egypt Accuses Israel of Daily Ceasefire Violations

Category: Israel, Jerusalem & the Temple

Summary:
At the Doha Forum, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty called for the rapid deployment of an international stabilization force (ISF) along the “Yellow Line” in Gaza to monitor the ceasefire, accusing Israel of daily violations and also holding Hamas responsible. He stated that the ISF would function as a peacekeeping mission rather than a peace-enforcement operation, noting that voluntary disarmament of Hamas is unlikely under current circumstances. Abdelatty also condemned Israel’s restrictions at the Rafah crossing, criticizing one-way passage policies that allow Palestinians to exit but not return, and insisted that only medical evacuations be permitted with an assured right to return. The proposal to station the ISF near the Yellow Line is reportedly gaining support among potential troop-contributing countries.

According to him, this proposal is gaining support among countries that might contribute troops, especially since many reluctant to deploy deep inside western Gaza’s “red zone.” He emphasized that Egypt envisions a peacekeeping mission, not a peace-enforcement operation. Abdelatty suggested disarmament of Hamas could only be realistic if it occurred voluntarily, which he described as unlikely under current conditions.
