Egypt – Some factions want cancellation of Camp David Accords

After the killing by an Israeli soldier of a Egyptian border guard, Eqypt seems to be trying to stand on its own feet. There are many problems around the Rafah crossing and Egypt’s interaction with the Zionist regime.

UPDATE: Egyptians gather for the funeral of a soldier killed in cross-border fire near Rafah. Meanwhile, a second Egyptian soldier has succumbed to his wounds after being shot by Israeli forces at the Egypt-Gaza border. This is as far as I can see in the Philadelphi Corridor, a strip of land along the border between Gaza and Egypt. Israeli troops moved into the corridor and took control of the Rafah crossing earlier this month.

Here is what is happening:

The United Nasserist Party in Egypt condemned the “disgraceful positions” of Arab regimes, especially on the Israeli invasion of the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip, Rafah.

The movement pointed out that Arab states are “true partners” in the genocidal crimes committed by the Israeli regime against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the movement rejected the stance of the Egyptian government, saying that it has not taken any decisive and deterrent measures that reflect “the prestige and value of Egypt.”

…the statement pointed to the recent clashes between Egyptian troops and Israeli occupation forces near the border, which led to the martyrdom of at least one Egyptian soldier. The movement said that the martyred soldier should be hailed as “a symbol and embodiment of Egypt’s national conscience and its steadfast doctrine in war and struggle against the enemy.”

In this context, the Egyptian United Nasserist Party called for a series of actions to be taken by the Egyptian government, including:

Severing all ties with the Israeli regime, canceling all treaties, foremost of which are the “shameful” Camp David Accords and “peace agreement”, and criminalizing all forms of relations and normalization with “the Zionist enemy”;

Providing all forms of support to the valiant Palestinian Resistance;

Asserting Egypt’s sovereign rights over the Rafah border crossing by opening it for humanitarian aid and the transfer of injured people without coordination with the Israeli regime;

Lifting the security restrictions imposed on the citizens and releasing the prisoners of conscience, especially those detained due to their participation in pro-Palestine protests;

Supporting campaigns boycotting the companies and products affiliated with the Israeli regime

The movement also affirmed the right of the Egyptian and Arab people to utilize all means and methods of expression in support of the Palestinian people and their Resistance.
