السفير أسامة عبد الخالق يلقي بيان جمهورية #مصر العربية في الجلسة الطارئة لمجلس الأمن حول "الوضع في الشرق الأوسط، خاصة القضية الفلسطينية"، في أعقاب القصف الإسرائيلي لمستشفى الأهلى المعمداني.
الإنسانية تسود.
اعتمدت الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة، بأغلبية الأصوات، قراراً عربياً إسلامياً، قدمته #مصر، يطالب بوقف إنساني فوري لإطلاق النار في قطاع #غزة.
يجب تنفيذ هذه القرار فوراً. يجب وقف العدوان الإسرائيلي على قطاع #غزة فوراً. يجب وقف إراقة الدماء.
أتقدم بخالص التعازي في استشهاد اثنين من حفظة السلام المصريين إثر هجوم على حافلة تابعة للبعثة الأممية في مالي. وإذ ندين بشدة هذا الحادث الغادر، نطالب بتحقيق فوري في الواقعة واتخاذ المزيد من الإجراءات لتعزيز سلامة حفظة السلام. رحم الله أبطال مصر الذين ضحوا بحياتهم من أجل السلام.
