Egypt: Israel lacks political will to end Gaza war
In a statement released on Saturday, Egypt condemned Israel's use of deadly force against unarmed Palestinians as a clear indication of their lack of commitment to resolving the conflict in Gaza. The criticism was in response to the recent Israeli airstrikes on a school, resulting in over 100 fatalities and numerous injuries among the Palestinian population.

Egypt said on Saturday Israel's "deliberate killing" of unarmed Palestinians shows that it lacks a political will to end the war in Gaza.
Egypt's foreign ministry statement came after more than 100 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a Gaza school sheltering displaced people, according to the official Palestinian news agency.
The Israeli army said it had hit a Hamas command centre.
