Are you saying Egyptian officials or reporters are blatantly lying? Can you give a source for your claim?

Israel has been the one consistently slowing or completely stopping aid since the beginning. This is not a question, Egypt is not the problem here.

This has been Israel's story since this latest stage of the genocide began back after Oct. 7. They stop tents getting through because "tent poles can be used as weapons".
And just in case people have forgotten, this is what Gaza looks like. You're trying to tell me that it's the Egyptians who are blocking aid? Israel is supposedly this great ally to the West, why are they not letting the needed aid through any of the other three borders they control completely? Having to go through Egypt or build a fucking entire port would indicate that Israel is entirely uncooperative with western aid efforts. Air dropping aid is the kind of thing we've done historically when there is enemy territory preventing us driving it in by land.
Zionists need to understand that there is no hiding what Israel has been doing to Palestinians any longer, the old deflections simply do not work. The genie is out of the bottle.
Did you see that picture of Egypt putting down concrete blocks to block their side of the Rafah crossing
Did you read the statements from Egyptian officials that they're keeping the crossing shut, hoping this pressures Israel to retreat?
