Egypt welcomed the decision of the International Court of Justice to impose additional interim measures on Israel and its demand for an immediate cessation of military operations and any other measures in the Palestinian city of Rafah.

In a statement issued by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry on Friday, Egypt called on Israel to comply with its legal obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and international humanitarian law, and to implement all provisional measures issued by the International Court of Justice, which are legally binding and enforceable, as they are issued by the highest international judicial organ.

“Israel bears full legal responsibility for the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip as the occupying power,” the statement said.

In the statement, Egypt called on "Israel to stop its systematic policies against the Palestinian people, including targeting, starvation and siege in violation of all provisions of international law and international humanitarian law."

Dozens were killed and injured in an Israeli bombing on an area classified as safe near the city of Rafah in the far south of the Gaza Strip, amid international condemnation of the massacre, and angry demonstrations witnessed by some countries around the world.

UNRWA spokesman in Gaza, Adnan Abu Hasna, said that the death toll and injuries from the recent Israeli strike on the displaced persons camp in the city of Rafah were likely to reach 100 people.

For his part, the spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza said, “The health care system in Gaza is unable to deal with the situation in the city of Rafah.”

In turn, the Hamas movement held the US administration and its president, Joe Biden in particular, fully responsible for the “massacre” committed by the Israeli army in the city of Rafah.

Palestinian health officials say at least 45 people, nearly half of them women and children, were killed in the Israeli raid.

The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip is entering its eighth month, and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are suffering from the lack of safe areas to which they can flee the bombing.

They face a severe food shortage, which puts their lives and the lives of their children at risk due to both bombing and hunger.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, described the level of destruction in Gaza as a result of Israeli practices as “unprecedented and completely unacceptable.”

He stressed in an interview with NHK TV that the Israeli military operation is being carried out in a way that causes huge numbers of civilian casualties and severe damage to civilian infrastructure.

A medical source in the Egyptian city of Al-Arish announced on Thursday that 21 cancer patients had been evacuated from the Gaza Strip to Egypt via the Kerem Shalom crossing, for the first time since the crossing was closed in early May, when the Israeli army took control of the Palestinian side of it.

The source, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, told Agence France-Presse, “21 cancer patients arrived in Egyptian territory through the Kerem Shalom crossing for treatment in the Emirates.”

A World Health Organization official said on Tuesday that the closure of the Rafah crossing prevented the evacuation of at least two thousand patients and called for the reopening of the crossing and other roads, according to Reuters.

Egypt denied Israeli allegations claiming that it agreed to establish an alternative port to the Rafah port, and a high-ranking Egyptian source confirmed to the Cairo News Channel, which is owned by the intelligence service, the importance of adhering to the current status of the port.

The source stressed that Egypt refuses the entry of any Egyptian forces into the Gaza Strip, explaining that arranging the situation inside the Strip after the ongoing military operation is a purely Palestinian matter.

Egypt informed all parties in advance of the need to recover the detainees and stop the military operation through a permanent ceasefire agreement and the exchange of detainees and prisoners.

It stressed its refusal to coordinate with Israel regarding the crossing and stopped the entry of aid until the Israeli forces withdrew from it.

During the ceasefire negotiations in Cairo, Israel proposed the idea of building an underground barrier extending along the border with the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli website “Epoch” published that the Israeli government is putting pressure on the Egyptian government to establish two barriers, one overhead and the other underground, along the “Philadelphia Axis,” as well as moving the Rafah crossing site to another new location.

Egypt opposes making any changes to its borders with the Gaza Strip, especially with regard to the Rafah crossing and the Philadelphia axis.

In this context, the Israeli Channel 12 announced that the Israeli army is also planning to expand the newly created “buffer zone” in Philadelphia to include broader activities to uncover hitherto unknown tunnels.
