Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi squarely pointed the finger at the Israeli Occupation for the crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Speaking at the “Call for Action: Urgent Humanitarian Response for Gaza” conference on Tuesday, Al-Sisi attributed the current situation in Gaza solely to the occupation. He characterized it as a widespread campaign of starvation imposed on the entire strip.
