CAIRO'S DOUBLE-DEALING OVER GAZA
On the one hand, Egypt, like other countries in the region, has condemned Israel’s ongoing onslaught on Gaza, with Cairo declaring its intention on 12 May to join South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.
Beyond the veneer of support for Palestine, Egypt’s actions tell a different story.
Pro-Palestine protesters have faced a crackdown in the North African country. Egyptian authorities recently blocked a humanitarian convoy of about 10,000 from attempting to break the siege on Gaza under the guise of national security concerns. Haaretz reports that the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights estimates Egypt has detained more than 180 citizens for Gaza-related activism.
On top of that, Gazans seeking refuge in Egypt are reportedly being charged at least $5,000 to cross the border.
It is not the first time that Egypt’s words and deeds do not align.
In this 2024 video, African Stream examined Egypt’s duplicitous stance.

Rwanda’s army crossed into the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1996, citing ‘self-defence’ against anti-Rwandan fighters based there. But Kigali’s soldiers would go on to commit rapes and civilian killings on an industrial scale - as detailed in the 2010 UN Mapping Report. Our Facts of the Week detail atrocities from late 1996 onwards, when Rwandan forces and their proxies became major belligerents in the region. Every slide showcases numbers, dates and perpetrators straight from the UN report, so the facts can’t be dismissed as mere rumours. Swipe through and keep the pressure on for accountability.
