The Siege of Gaza is Evidence of the Egyptian Regime's Treachery
Gaza has entered the fifth stage of famine (the stage of catastrophic hunger) according to a United Nations report. While Muslims everywhere are trying to support their brothers with donations and launching convoys to break the siege on them, neighboring countries are watching idly, especially Egypt, which has borders with Gaza, but claims it has no say in the matter, and is content with the role of mediator. Is Egypt really incapable of helping the people of Gaza?!
Since the beginning of the Jewish aggression against Gaza, the Egyptian regime has claimed that it is doing everything in its power to support our people in Gaza and denied that it has a role in closing the crossings and besieging Gaza. However, the evidence reveals the truth of its lies, and that the current situation would not have happened without its collusion with the Jews even before their war on Gaza. With the beginning of the aggression, the nation began demanding that Egypt intervene to prevent the Jewish entity from bombing our people in Gaza with missiles, but everyone was surprised that it even allowed it to bomb the Egyptians themselves in the Rafah crossing, the Al-Ajraa area south of Rafah, and various areas in Sinai. The soldiers watched the Jews' missiles reap their brothers in Gaza or their colleagues on the borders without any action from their state; this war was opened with scenes of betrayal and submission.
The Egyptian regime was not satisfied with wasting Muslim blood, but allowed the Jewish entity to take over the Rafah crossing, ignoring the conditions of the peace treaty that it has always used to justify its failure to support our people in Palestine. This is not the result of the Egyptian army's weakness, but it is treason. The evidence for this is that the regime did not take any position. It did not condemn the Jews for occupying the crossing in the first place, and did not intervene to prevent it by force or at least use any means of pressure on it, and was content with denying itself the accusation of closing the crossing and claimed that the whole matter was in the hands of the Jewish entity, as if it were an acknowledgment of the right of this usurping entity to control the crossing!
It is certain that it is impossible to talk about this subject without mentioning the Suez Canal, which is considered one of the most important means of pressure on the Jewish entity and America. It is also certain that Egypt used it in the worst way possible, as videos spread showing the passage of warships bearing the flags of America and the Jewish entity, and claimed that it did not have the power to prevent them from crossing the canal due to international laws, to confirm to everyone that these laws only appear to serve the interests of the infidel, colonialist West!
We in Egypt are witnessing the worst scenes of betrayal and abandonment by a regime created by colonialism to be an alternative to the system of Islam. We see it participating in the killing of our brothers in Gaza by besieging them, preventing aid from entering them, and preventing any efforts to break the siege on them in response to the orders of the Jews. It arrests those who collect donations or try to reach the crossing to break the siege. You see a scene of the most amazing kind; non-Muslim activists begging Muslim soldiers to allow them to enter to help our people in Gaza. To what depths have we reached?!
O soldiers of Egypt, the land of the quiver: We, the people of Egypt, are almost dying of anger as we see our brothers in Gaza being killed, and we know that you possess the equipment and supplies that enable you to support Gaza and liberate it and the rest of Palestine. Hasten to this great honor, and God is with you, and He is your helper, and He will not deprive you of your deeds.
