Sisi: Israel Evades Gaza Ceasefire Efforts

Israel continues to evade efforts to reach a ceasefire in its war with Hamas in Gaza, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, whose country has mediated in the conflict, told Arab leaders at a summit in Manama on Thursday.
Sisi added that Israel is pursuing its military operations in Rafah, the southern border city between Egypt and Gaza, and using the city’s border crossing from its Palestinian side “to tighten the siege of the enclave.”
“We found Israel continuing to escape its responsibilities and evade efforts exerted to reach a ceasefire,” Sisi said.
“Those who think that security and military solutions are able to secure interests or achieve security (are) delusional,” Sisi stressed.
