Israel Palestine War News Live:
Israel Palestine War News Live: Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Thursday that Gazans must "stay steadfast and remain on their land", amid calls for Cairo to allow safe passage for civilians stuck in Gaza.
The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza is the only passage in and out of the coastal enclave not controlled by Israel.
Israel has bombarded the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip since Saturday in reprisal for a shock Hamas attack on Israel that has killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and looks poised to send ground troops into Gaza where official have reported over 1,400 deaths.
Egypt is committed to ensuring the delivery "of aid, both medical and humanitarian at this difficult time", Sisi said, affirming Cairo's "firm position" of ensuring Palestinians' "legitimate rights".
But he stressed, in a speech at a military ceremony, that Gazans must "stay steadfast and remain on their land".
The tiny coastal enclave home to 2.4 million people, already blockaded since 2007, is under siege by Israel which has cut off water, food and power supplies.
