CAIRO - 20 October 2023: Amidst the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has spoken out against what it perceives as a deliberate targeting of Egypt by Western media outlets. In a statement, Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted the clear pattern of Egypt's targeting in Western media from the beginning of the crisis. The focus has been on portraying Egypt as responsible for hindering the departure of other nationals. 'Targeting in Western media is clear in the current crisis, promoting displacement scenario, holding responsible for the crossing closure despite targeted attacks & refusal of aid entry & recently insinuating responsibility for obstructing third-country nationals exit', he said. The situation underscores the importance of accurate and responsible reporting during times of crisis, as misinformation can have far-reaching consequences.
