The Egyptian government says it won't consider opening its borders to Gaza refugees because it won't offer a solution to the ongoing conflict. Instead, Egyptian Ambassador to Kenya Wael Nasr Eldin Attiya says Cairo is pushing for a ceasefire and the resumption of negotiations to resolve a conflict that has lasted more than seven decades.
In an interview with Nation.Africa on Tuesday, Attiya argued that the uncertainties surrounding Israel's war with Hamas, coupled with the possible infiltration of militants among the fleeing refugees, made it untenable to accept refugees.
