CAIRO – 12 October 2023: Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry received his Iraqi counterpart Fouad Hussein on Thursday.
The ministers will discuss coordination between Egypt and Iraq on Arab issues, most notably the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and ways to end the suffering of the Palestinian people under continuous bombardment.
Hamas' Qassam Brigades launched Saturday an offensive on Israeli settlements in the occupied lands by firing 5,000 missiles in 20 minutes, invoking airstrikes on Gaza that incurred scores of casualties and have not ceased until present.
Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the death toll reached 1,385 Palestinians, in addition to 6,229 injured Palestinians.
Israel announced that the number of the deaths reached 1,300 Israelis and 2506 others were injured.
Egypt warned against the serious dangers of the continuous Israeli escalation against the Palestinians when the Israeli forces stormed and attacked many parts of the occupied lands in Jenin of the West Bank.
Cairo also warned against fueling the tension and exacerbating the suffering of the Palestinian people, saying that these Israeli violations could undermine the efforts made by Egypt, as well as regional and international partners to de-escalate tension in the occupied territories.
