Egypt’s ambassador to the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Osman, stated on Friday that Israel is responsible for recent escalations in Gaza. He demanded Israel stop its attacks on the strip immediately so Egyptian efforts to restore calm can succeed.
Osman’s statements came after Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip killed two Palestinians on Thursday and one on Friday, with 13 injured.
Osman confirmed to the Palestinian Ma’an news agency that Egypt is making efforts to force Israel to end the attacks.
