Egypt Criticizes Israeli Escalation After Hamas Leader's Death

Egypt criticized Israel for escalating tensions following the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry stated that this development, coupled with stalled Gaza ceasefire talks, is making the situation more complicated.

Egypt slammed Israel on Wednesday for escalating tensions, citing the recent killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran as evidence of a lack of political will for de-escalation.

In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry argued that the escalation is further exacerbated by a stagnation in Gaza ceasefire negotiations, aggravating the already volatile situation.

The ministry emphasized that these actions are complicating the pursuit of peace and stability in the region.
