In a post on social media, Israel’s ambassador in Egypt, Amira Oron, said, “no intentions in relation to Sinai, and has not asked Palestinians to move there. Sinai is Egyptian territory.”
In a meeting with Tajani, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said “Egypt was keen to open the Rafah crossing to provide humanitarian aid, food and medicine, but instability and the expansion of the conflict leads to more hardship and more refugees to safe areas, including Europe.”
Egypt has deliberated on plans with the United States and others to provide humanitarian help through its border with Gaza Strip but rejects any move to set up safe corridors for refugees fleeing the enclave, Egyptian security sources said on Wednesday.
