Speaking outside the Egyptian embassy in London, Maha Azzam, head of the Egyptian Revolutionary Council, said the Rabaa massacre remains an open wound twelve years later and its legacy is directly tied to what is happening in Gaza today.

She described Rabaa as a systematic murder of innocent people carried out under the orders of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who she said continues to commit crimes by keeping the Rafah crossing shut and blocking food and medicine from reaching civilians in Gaza.

„Egypt is complicit in Israel’s agenda in Gaza,“ she said, calling on the international community to recognise Sisi’s role in the ongoing starvation and suffering of Palestinians.
