A photo showing destruction in Gaza due to the Israeli war - File/WAFACAIRO – 30 June 2024: A high-level source has underlined Egypt’s rejection of the entry of any Egyptian forces into the Gaza Strip, Al-Qahera News reported on Sunday. Meanwhile, the source denied Egypt’s approval for the transfer of the Rafah crossing with Gaza or the construction of a new crossing near the Karm Abu Salem crossing. The source underlined Egypt's insistence on a full withdrawal of the Israeli army from the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing. Egypt has consistently opposed the Israeli takeover of the Rafah crossing since May 7 and has refused to coordinate with Israeli forces for aid delivery through this crucial crossing. Additionally, Egypt has dismissed reports about plans to deploy Egyptian troops to Gaza as part of a broader coalition in post-war Gaza.
