The massacre at Al-Tabain school in Gaza proves the complete lack of political will on the part of the Israeli authorities to end the war in the Palestinian enclave, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement published on official social media pages on Saturday.

Earlier, Palestinian emergency services said an Israeli plane fired three rockets at Al-Tabaeen school in Gaza, where refugees had gathered for morning prayers. As a result, according to preliminary data, 100 people died. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced a strike on a school in the Gaza Strip, claiming that it housed Hamas fighters.

“The continuation of such crimes on a massive scale, resulting in the death of large numbers of civilians, every time the mediation efforts increase in an attempt to find a solution to a ceasefire in the enclave, openly indicates the lack of Israeli political will for a ceasefire.” , – the statement said.
⠀
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Israel’s actions and called on the international community to take a united position, which, as the department notes, will be effective and will be able to provide protection to the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and stop the ongoing killing of civilians.

“Egypt will continue its efforts through diplomatic channels with all international parties involved to ensure the supply of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip in all possible ways and will continue to work on a ceasefire agreement,” the Egyptian Foreign Ministry also noted in a communiqué.
