Cairo denounces massive Israeli strikes on Beirut as betrayal of ceasefire spirit
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
Cairo denounces a ceasefire illusion while Beirut burns. Egyptian Streets documents with precision the Israeli strikes — described as "most intense" — on Beirut's central and coastal zones, occurring hours after the US-Iran announcement. For Egypt, this juxtaposition is unbearable: how celebrate a truce when Israeli aircraft bomb an Arab capital? Egyptian framing is the panel's most critical of Israel — reflecting Egyptian public opinion, overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian and pro-Lebanese despite Camp David Accords. Egyptian Streets provides operational details American press ignores: strike intensity, civilian zones hit, deliberate post-announcement timing. Egypt, guardian of the Suez Canal and neighbor to Gaza, sees the ceasefire as a great-power arrangement ignoring Arab victims.
