Furthermore, he highlighted the need to “firmly confront double standards,” as demonstrated during the Gaza conflict. “The impacts and consequences of supporting what is happening in Gaza through silence extend beyond the Palestinian territories and the region, leaving a deep wound on the conscience of societies,” stated Shoukry. Shoukry also cautioned against Israeli plans to invade the Palestinian city of Rafah, which serves as the last refuge for nearly 1.5 million displaced Palestinians. Hindering aidHe held Israel responsible for imposing “illegal obstacles” that hinder the swift, safe, and sustainable delivery of relief aid.
