Ceasefire mediator Egypt condemns resumed Israel strikes Cairo, March 18 (AFP) Mar 18, 2025 The Egyptian foreign ministry condemned Israel's deadly overnight air strikes on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, calling them a "flagrant violation" of the ceasefire that took effect on January 19. The strikes constitute a "dangerous escalation which threatens to bring serious consequences for the stability of the region", said the statement from Egypt, which brokered the Gaza ceasefire alongside Qatar and the United States. It called on the international community to "act immediately to halt the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip in order to prevent the region entering a new spiral of violence and counterviolence". Israel's overnight strikes, which the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said killed more than 330 people, were by far the biggest since the ceasefire. Hamas has not responded to them so far.
