CNN gets a firsthand look at Egypt’s stance on Gaza

In an exclusive interview while touring the Rafah crossing with CNN, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty reiterated that Egypt considers any mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza a “red line” — warning that Cairo “will not accept it, will not participate in it, and will not allow it to happen.” Abdelatty said such a scenario would amount to the “liquidation” of the Palestinian cause.

Abdelatty said more than 5k aid trucks remain stuck on the Egyptian side of the crossing due to Israeli refusals to grant entry. CNN spoke with aid workers and drivers who have been waiting weeks for clearance, with some reports of medical equipment like ICU beds being rejected for containing metal components.
