No "Israeli" Truce during Egypt’s PM Visit to Gaza, Qandil Denounces Aggression

Local Editor

Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Qandil vowed Friday to intensify Cairo's efforts to secure a truce and end "Israel's" aggression in the Gaza Strip.

"Egypt will not hesitate to intensify its efforts and make sacrifices to stop this aggression and achieve a lasting truce," he said at a press conference in Gaza City's Shifa hospital after seeing some victims from the latest "Israeli" strike.
During Qandil's visit to the hospital, the bodies of two Palestinian martyrs were brought in after an airstrike on Jabalia.

Seven people, mostly children, were injured in the strike on the home of the Abu Warda family, medics said.
"This tragedy can't pass in silence and the world should take responsibility in stopping this aggression," Qandil said.
In south Gaza, Hamas said the "Israeli" air force bombed the house of Hamas's commander for southern Gaza.

Meanwhile, Qandil crossed into Gaza before midday through the only border post with Egypt, heavily guarded by Egyptian security personnel wearing flak jackets and carrying assault rifles.
He was greeted by Gaza's Prime Minister, Ismail Haniya , who ventured out in public for the first time since "Israel" launched the offensive Wednesday by assassinating the militant group's military commander.

Egypt said Qandil's three-hour visit Friday was meant as a show of solidarity with the Palestinian territory's Hamas rulers.
