Former Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ambassador Nabil Fahmy, has expressed serious concerns regarding the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, particularly in Gaza.

Fahmy warned of the potential for military operations to expand into the West Bank, further jeopardizing the fragile situation. He criticized Israel’s actions, including the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, as deliberate provocations aimed at escalating tensions. Fahmy further highlighted the risks Israel is taking by engaging on multiple fronts, potentially undermining its economic strength. He emphasized the urgency of international pressure on Israel to cease hostilities, particularly from the United States, as the upcoming American elections loom.
