Cairo upbraids Israel for ‘irresponsible escalation’
Cairo is condemning “Israel’s irresponsible escalation in the Gaza Strip” and what it calls Jerusalem’s exaggerated and unjustified use of force, Israel Radio reports.
Egypt says it is holding Israel responsible for the safety of Gaza’s civilian population and calls on the international community to intervene in order to prevent further victims in the coastal strip.
On Friday demonstrators burned an Israeli flag outside the Palestinian embassy in Cairo and called on the government to expel Israel’s ambassador to the Arab nation.
