Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has said his country is exerting maximum pressure to end the Israeli onslaught on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.
“We are pressing with all our strength to end the war on Gaza, and we hope to reach an agreement to stop the bloodshed in Gaza as soon as possible,” Abdelatty said in a news conference in Cairo.
He stressed the “urgent need for unrestricted and full access of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip”.
“It is unacceptable to use hunger as a weapon against the Palestinians in Gaza,” said Abdelatty.
