Egypt condemns Israeli escalation in West Bank, settler raids on Al Aqsa mosque

Egypt condemned the continued Israeli escalation in the occupied West Bank and repeated incursions by Israeli settlers into the Al Aqsa Mosque compound, under the protection of Israeli police, warning of the consequences of such practices for the situation in the Palestinian territories.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Egyptian Expatriates, Egypt condemned the restrictions imposed on the movement of Palestinian citizens, warning that the measures could further aggravate conditions in the occupied territories.

Egypt expressed its full rejection of statements by Israeli officials calling for an expansion of military operations in the West Bank and undermining the Palestinian Authority.

The statement stressed the need to halt all unilateral and escalatory measures and respect the existing historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem.

Egypt reiterated its support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
