Amr added that the occupation's actions, despite their aggression, will not bring security. Instead, he warned, they are turning the West Bank into a powder keg that could explode at any moment in Israel's face. He also stressed that the Palestinian issue must be present in discussions, such as the meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, as the Israeli prime minister believes his aggressive approach is the path to Israel's security.
What is happening in the West Bank from a complete closure of its cities, and aggression on the lives and freedoms of citizens, is part of the price that Palestinians are paying for these elections.
Regarding the Gaza Strip, Amr did not rule out the possibility of Israel escalating military action there, even after withdrawing its forces to the West Bank. He noted that many in Israel consider the West Bank the main battlefield. The former minister concluded by emphasizing Egypt's crucial role as a barrier that thwarted plans to empty Gaza, highlighting this as Cairo's usual historical role.
What the occupation is doing, despite its aggression, will not achieve security for it, but rather turns the West Bank into a powder keg that could explode at any moment in Israel's face.
