The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdel-Aty, addressed a press conference with his Lebanese counterpart on Tuesday, regarding the tensions in the northern sector.

According to Abdel-Aty, the only way to stop the escalation in the region is to reach an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, stop "Israel's unjust aggression and ensure access to humanitarian aid for the local residents."

At a press conference at the end of a meeting with his Lebanese counterpart, Abdel-Aty emphasized the need to continue intensive contacts to curb the security escalation and prevent a regional war.

He noted that efforts to reach a ceasefire continue, and at the same time Egypt is working with Arab, regional and international parties to promote the implementation of the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state, as well as to renew financial aid to the UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.

Most likely, it’s all about $$$ for Egypt. They were making a lot of money from the black market.

In other news from Lebanon:

Israeli Air Force jets flew low over Beirut on Tuesday minutes before Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was set to address a memorial marking one week since the death of his No. 2 man, Fuad Shukr.

Lebanese eyewitnesses told the Reuters wire agency that they were able to see the Israeli planes, which were said to have produced “one of the largest sonic booms heard by residents in years,” with the naked eye.

Release the hostages and disarm.

Then Peace is trivial.

The Sand ‘Rats can then turn Gaza into the Garden of Eden and live happily ever after.

Eazzy-Pezzy.

He dismissed Israel’s claim as false.

“Israel is spreading claims because of its failure to achieve any achievement in Gaza,” said the Egyptian official. “Israel has not presented any evidence of the existence of active tunnels on the Gaza border and it is using the blocked tunnels in Gaza to spread false claims to achieve political goals.”

How much $$$ do we have to give as bribes to Gen. Sisi, so he can help the IDF dig up Sinwar, find the hostages, and put this $%^& war to an end?!

What is Hamas Hiding in Rafah? [06/05/2024]
[snip] Egypt built a formidable border wall... impenetrable, militarized, and closely guarded with Egyptian troops and security forces. The way through it for Gazans seeking to get out... [bribery] Upwards of $5,000 per person... [and] a gateway for international aid and smuggling into Gaza resulting in over $88 million in profit to... a Bedouin tribal leader named Ibrahim al-Organi... Organi has cultivated extremely close ties with Egyptian President al-Sisi, and more significantly, with al-Sisi's son, Mahmoud. General Mahmoud al-Sisi is the Deputy Chief of Egyptian intelligence and he sits on Organi's board. [/snip]

So, Mr. Minister, Badr Abdel-Aty, just how did all those arms get into Gaza?

I realize Egypt is in a tough spot, but, lying isn’t going to gain sympathy from me.

Last I heard Egypt had locked their border gates and flooded all tunnels with sea water.

Are either one ov these things still true?

Were they ever?

“”renew financial aid to the UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.””

The only people/group that hates Jews more than the UN/UNRWA is the demoKKKrats.

UNRWA helped the Islamofascistnazis on Oct 7.

I spent almost 6 years employed as a specialist for the Egyptian government. Get two Arabs together and you’ll have at least three opinions.

The Sinai Peninsula is largely unpopulated. Egypt can use it to house their Gaza cousins.

” Get two Arabs together and you’ll have at least three opinions.”

Ironic. That’s a joke that Jews say about each other, too.

There is the killer heat and lack of fresh water. But there may be aquifers, like there is in Libya.

A misleading title. While the article shows a photo of a tunnel entrance, it doesn’t say anything about a tunnel.
