Israel pushing towards displacement of Palestinians, says Egypt's foreign minister

Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said on Tuesday that steps taken by Israel are aimed at displacing Palestinians. 

Speaking at a news conference in Cairo with his German counterpart, Shoukry added that the immediate priority was to get a ceasefire for other political and humanitarian issues to be resolved, including the release of Israeli captives and the entry of aid into Gaza. 

All the steps that are being taken (by Israel) are to push towards displacement," said Shoukry. 

"We are under the illusion that efforts are being made to prevent displacement, but we have not seen real efforts to prevent displacement."

Shoukry also blamed the slow and limited entry of aid into Gaza on Israeli inspections.
