Sameh Shukri ignites social media platforms with his statements about Hamas. His statements sparked dissatisfaction and anger in the Egyptian and Arab streets.
Activists on the X platform described his statements as shocking, and demanded that he retract them because of the "fallacies" in them. One of the bloggers asked about the mediation role that Egypt is currently playing, saying, “I have a question that puzzles me? If official Egypt is a mediator in the events and its Foreign Minister comes out hostile to the resistance, its people, and bloodshed, and takes the Zionist narrative?”
