The Egyptian foreign ministry has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent comments, calling them “misleading accusations.”
Netanyahu told Fox News that Egypt was blocking Gazans from leaving. He claimed the wealthy could bribe their way out, while others were stuck. He argued that Palestinians in Gaza should have the chance to relocate.
On Sunday, the Egyptian foreign ministry rejected these remarks. Although the statement did not name the Fox News interview, the timing suggests a connection. The ministry emphasized that Egypt’s policies were being misrepresented.
This dispute adds to the ongoing tension between Egypt and Israel. The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains a contentious issue. International observers are watching closely, as these accusations may have significant diplomatic effects.
