Cairo: The ministerial committee, mandated by the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit on Gaza, along with 23 countries, the Arab League, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, expressed strong condemnation and rejection of Israel's intention to impose full military control over Gaza. This collective stance highlights the escalating tensions in the region.

According to Nam News Network, the joint statement, released by the foreign ministries of countries including Egypt, Palestine, Qatar, and others, described Israel's intention as an escalation and a violation of international law. The statement emphasized that the move is seen as an attempt to solidify the illegal occupation and impose control by force, contradicting international legitimacy.

The statement further warned that Israel's actions amount to serious violations, including killing, starvation, attempts at forced displacement, and annexation of Palestinian land, which are considered crimes against humanity.

In a related development, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan met in Cairo, where they also voiced their opposition to a military re-occupation of the Gaza Strip. They called for an immediate ceasefire and stressed the need for humanitarian aid and the release of hostages.

Since the resumption of the international airdrop operation in late July, 11 countries have participated by providing aid packages to Gaza. Notably, Greece and Italy joined the operation, collaborating with the United Arab Emirates and other nations.

Despite these efforts, United Nations officials and experts argue that the airdrops alone are insufficient to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. They urge the opening of land crossings for more substantial aid and medical assistance, as the Israeli regime refutes claims of causing deliberate starvation.
