The Egyptian Foreign Ministry has voiced strong concerns over Israel's intentions to take military control of Gaza City, following a recent visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the region. Egypt warned that such actions could lead to an illegal occupation, violating international and humanitarian law. The ministry criticized Israel for disregarding ongoing mediation efforts, ceasefire proposals, and international calls to end the conflict. Egypt has appealed to the United Nations Security Council, urging it to intervene and halt Israel's military operations in Gaza.
