The Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi had on Saturday, October 28, warned against any distension of the conflict in Gaza, commenting that the region chances becoming a “ticking time bomb”.
Sisi had also said that his country’s supremacy should be recognised after drones were interrupted after entering the Egyptian air space on Friday, October 27.
Yesterday, the Israeli givernmnet revealed that it had become the target of the drones which it blamed on Yemen’s Iranian-supported Houthi movement.
According to the Egyptian military, the drones had fallen on the Egyptian towns of Taba and Nuweiba close to the Israeli border, wounding six. The officials had however not revealed who had launched the drones.
Sisi, while speaking at a conference had said:
“Egypt is a sovereign country and its sovereignty and position should be regarded… Egypt is a powerful and untouchable country.”
Sisi had only last week, hosted a peace summit last Saturday and has called for aid to be permitted into Gaza, the release of prisoners, and an armstice in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
