    Committee: United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC)

    Country: Arab Republic of Egypt


    Agenda: Addressing the humanitarian crises arising from the military actions of Israel

    The Arab Republic of Egypt is committed in its support of world security and peace. Egypt
    is extremely worried about the worsening humanitarian crises in the region, which have led to
    a large number of deaths, extensive displacement, and grave violations of international
    humanitarian law and human rights, especially in light of Israel's recent military activities.
    Egypt has played a pivotal role in the Middle East peace process and has a complicated
    historical connection with Israel that has seen both peaceful and conflicting times.

    In 1979, Egypt and Israel signed the Camp David Accords, a historic peace treaty that
    normalised diplomatic ties and prevented direct military combat between the two nations.
    Egypt keeps diplomatic ties with Israel and determines issues between the Jewish nation and
    Palestinian parties in Gaza, frequently acting as a go-between and assistant in talks for a cease-
    fire. Egypt is concerned about the potential impact of military operations on civilian
    populations, advocating for global peace initiatives and humanitarian aid for affected countries
    due to the actions of the Jewish nation.

    Egypt, a neighbour to Israel and the Gaza Strip, faces direct implications from military actions,
    including refugee flows, security concerns, and potential economic and humanitarian
    crises. Public opinion demands condemnation and solidarity with Palestinians. The
    government of Egypt also takes into account the possible effects of regional crises on the
    country's domestic safety and security. Egypt's national security interests may be threatened by
    neighbouring countries experiencing instability that is made worse by natural disasters.

    Thousands of civilians, including women and children, have died as a result of the ongoing
    fighting, according to current figures. More than 1.9 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are
    in critical need of humanitarian aid and over 2.3 million people have been displaced, according
    to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

    Egypt demands that the hostilities end immediately and that serious action be taken by the
    international community to safeguard civilian lives and respect international law. We support
    the following policies:
    1. There has to be an unconditional, quick ceasefire to prevent further fatalities and
    property damage.
    2. Egypt has been advocating for long-term economic stability and emergency aid, as well
    as the creation and reconstruction of infrastructure in Gaza and other impacted areas.
    3. Initiating thorough inquiries and legal actions to hold all parties responsible for
    transgressions of global humanitarian law and respect for human rights.
    4. Resuming peace talks with the goal of reaching a fair and long-lasting settlement to
    the dispute, in accordance with pertinent UN resolutions and international law.
    5. Coordinating global assistance for the repair of harmed infrastructure and the financial
    recovery of impacted areas.
    6. Ensuring unimpeded access for humanitarian assistance agencies to deliver vital
    services and relief to impacted communities is known as humanitarian access.

    Egypt uses a combination of diplomatic negotiation, relief efforts, border management,


    political advocacy, and regional partnership to address crisis situations resulting from military
    actions by Israel. These initiatives seek to preserve civilian lives, lessen current suffering, and
    foster long-term peace and stability in the area.
