Egypt Expresses Discontent Over Attempts to Undermine Its Efforts for Ceasefire in Gaza

A high-ranking Egyptian source stated that Egypt is surprised by attempts from certain parties to deliberately undermine the Egyptian efforts aimed at achieving a ceasefire in Gaza. The source added that it is strange for some media outlets to rely on unnamed sources and challenged whether it is possible to attribute what was published to American or Israeli sources. The source emphasized that some parties are engaging in a game of accusing mediators, alleging bias, and blaming them to evade making the necessary decisions. Furthermore, the high-ranking source noted that Egypt's role in mediating the ceasefire agreement and the release of hostages in the region came after ongoing requests and insistence to take on this role. He affirmed that Egypt's involvement in mediating the ceasefire and the release of hostages is due to its experience and capability in handling such difficult negotiations.
