Amidst allegations from CNN of manipulation of Gaza ceasefire terms, a high-level Egyptian security official has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The official refuted claims made by CNN that a senior intelligence official altered the terms of a ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, leading to the collapse of talks earlier this month. Describing the accusations as “baseless and absurd,” the official defended Egypt’s role as a mediator despite challenges and Israeli resistance.
CNN reported that changes to the ceasefire terms came after Egyptian negotiators flew to Israel to finalize details for the release of hostages and halt in fighting. The alleged changes, reportedly made by Egyptian intelligence, caused friction among US, Qatar, and Israeli officials, disrupting ceasefire talks and leaving them at an impasse.
While Qatar’s Prime Minister cited stalled truce talks due to Israeli military operations, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned the possibility of a ceasefire deal. Despite setbacks, Qatar and Egypt have been recognized for their efforts in mediating between Hamas and Israel.
As the situation in Gaza remains dire, diplomatic efforts to establish peace continue amidst challenges and complexities.
