Egypt warns of severe repercussions from Israeli attacks on Jenin of West Bank

CAIRO – January 23, 2025: Egypt condemned the Israeli military operation in Jenin, which has led to the deaths and injuries of numerous Palestinian martyrs. 

In a statement released on Thursday, Egypt warned of the potential repercussions of this operation on the security and stability of the West Bank and the further escalation it may cause in the region’s security situation.

Egypt emphasized that this military operation undermines regional and international efforts to restore stability and calm in the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider region, warning that it could have severe repercussions.

The occupation forces burned a number of citizens' homes in Jenin camp, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
