In a statement, the ministry said the claims are “false and baseless,” citing confirmations from relevant state authorities that no such shipment had entered the Mediterranean port.
It stressed that all loading and unloading operations at Egyptian ports are conducted in accordance with international maritime agreements and are subject to a strict and continuous monitoring system.
The ministry also urged media outlets and social media users to adhere to professional standards, emphasizing the importance of verifying information and relying on official sources before publishing or circulating unconfirmed reports.
In recent days, reports circulating on social media claimed that a cargo vessel carrying steel intended for use in the manufacture of weapons and ammunition, with Israel as its final destination, had docked at Abu Qir Port.
