Egypt and EU oppose the planned
Israeli attack on Rafah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
said after a summit in Cairo with EU leaders Sunday.
"We and the European leaders agreed to reject the possibility of
a military operation by Israel at Rafah, which would double the
extent of the humanitarian catastrophe suffered by civilians in
the Gaza Strip," he said.
"Egypt, in particular," he added, "affirms its rejection of any
forced displacement of Palestinians beyond the Strip, which
would result in a liquidation of the Palestinian cause, which
Egypt openly rejects".
He said the region will always be unstable without a two-state
solution.
