CAIRO, Wednesday, August 28, 2024 (WAFA) - Egypt and Jordan on Wednesday condemned Israeli military offensives in northern West Bank cities, which resulted in the killings of 10 Palestinians.

In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said it considers the Israeli assaults on Palestinian civilians in West Bank cities “a continuation of systematic violations of international law, international humanitarian law, and the four Geneva Conventions that protect the rights of people under occupation.”

“Egypt sees these actions as a deliberate escalation and an expansion of confrontations inside the Palestinian territories,” the statement said.

It called for “a unified and effective international stance to provide protection for the Palestinian people and to put an end to the ongoing targeting of unarmed civilians, the imposition of restrictions, and the seizure of private property.”

Egypt also warned of the “severe consequences” expected from the ongoing Israeli operations.

Meanwhile, Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the ongoing Israeli attacks as an "ongoing aggressive campaign against the Gaza Strip."

In a statement, the ministry emphasized that “the systematic Israeli aggressions against Palestinians must cease immediately” and called on the international community “to take prompt and decisive action against Israel’s continuous and systematic violations of international law and international humanitarian law.”

The ministry also made the point that "the eviction and displacement of Palestinians constitute a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law."
