Israel-Hamas War : Egypt Rejects Proposals To Establish Corridors Out Of Gaza
Read Time:2 Minute, 3 Second
Israel-Hamas War : The Egyptian government has rejected any proposal to establish corridors out of Gaza for Palestinians fleeing Israel’s bombardment in Gaza. Egypt’s state-run media reported that Israel’s offensive is part of a scheme to empty the enclave.
As the ongoing war entered the sixth day on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the media reports that claimed Hamas militants beheaded soldiers, children and raped women in their attack on Israel. Netanyahu, in a late-night televised address, detailed some of the atrocities that took place during the attack. He said boys and girls were shot in the head and that people had been burned alive and vowed that Israel would “crush and destroy” the militant group.
At least 1,200 Israelis were killed in the attack, which set off a fierce Israeli response in the Gaza Strip. According to the official data, nearly 4,000 people have been killed since the war broke out on October 7, Saturday.
Egypt has engaged in intensive talks with Israel and the United States to allow the delivery of aid and fuel through its Rafah crossing point. However, it pushed back against proposals to establish corridors out of Gaza, saying an exodus of Palestinians from the enclave would have grave consequences for the Palestinian cause.
The Egyptian government has rejected any proposal to establish corridors out of Gaza for Palestinians fleeing Israel’s bombardment in Gaza, a senior Egyptian official said early on Thursday. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief media, was responding to White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby, who said that the Biden administration is in active conversations to achieve safe passage out of Gaza for civilians.
The Israeli military says it is preparing for a possible ground operation in Gaza but that the political leadership has not yet decided on one. Lt. Col. told reporters Thursday that forces “are preparing for a ground manoeuvre if decided.” Israel has called up some 3,60,000 army reservists and has threatened an unprecedented response to Hamas’ bloody, wide-ranging incursion over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, who has been directing the Israeli Defence Forces, vowed to wipe out Hamas from the earth.
