Egypt condemned Israeli airstrikes on Gaza as a clear violation of the ceasefire established on January 19, 2025, which has led to over 404 deaths and numerous injuries among civilians, primarily women and children. The Egyptian government called for immediate international intervention to cease the violence and emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions to restore stability in the region.
On March 18, 2025, Egypt expressed strong condemnation of Israel’s recent airstrikes on Gaza, characterizing them as a blatant violation of the existing ceasefire that has been in effect since January 19, 2025. These strikes targeted civilian populations and resulted in over 404 deaths and numerous injuries, igniting fears of further violence amidst ongoing tensions in the region.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry described the airstrikes as a dangerous escalation that poses a threat to regional stability. Emphasizing the disproportionate impact on women and children, the ministry warned of dire consequences that these actions could entail for ongoing peace efforts. A statement from the ministry highlighted, “This assault represents a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement and an attempt to reignite tensions in the region.”
Egypt reiterated its strong opposition to these Israeli military actions, calling for immediate international intervention to cease the violence. The ministry urged all involved parties to exercise restraint and prioritize diplomatic avenues aimed at establishing a lasting ceasefire.
Images depicting the devastation in Gaza reveal extensive damage, with numerous homes destroyed and civilian casualties rising sharply. Since the Israeli military operations commenced in October 2023, over 48,500 Palestinians, mainly women and children, have been reported killed and over 112,000 injured, marking a significant humanitarian crisis.
The renewed violence following the ceasefire has been widely condemned globally, yet the United States has continued its support for Israel, maintaining that the military actions were conducted with prior knowledge and consent from Washington.
The international legal community has also expressed alarm, as the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over accusations of war crimes in Gaza. Furthermore, Israel now faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice due to its conduct in the enclave.
Egypt’s condemnation of Israel’s airstrikes highlights ongoing tensions and challenges to regional stability. The human toll has been severe, with thousands of casualties reported, primarily among civilians. The call for international intervention underscores the urgency for immediate diplomatic efforts to restore peace and prevent further violence in Gaza. With ongoing international legal proceedings against Israeli officials, the situation remains critical and requires urgent attention from the global community.
