Some countries condemned the attacks against Israel and urged for restraint, while others praised the resistance groups.
As the Hamas militant group in the Gaza Strip carried out a multi-front attack on Israel on Saturday, killing at least 200 people, Middle East leaders responded to the unprecedented offensive. Meanwhile, some countries condemned the attacks against Israel and urged for restraint, while others praised the resistance groups.
Egypt, who signed a historic peace treaty with Israel in March 1979, urged restraint on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry warned of the repercussions of this escalation and called on the international community to ask Israel to stop its attacks against the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported 232 Palestinians have died and 1,697 injured in the fighting. Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukri made several contacts with top foreign officials to stop the escalation between the Palestinian and Israeli sides, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a second statement.
