Egypt denied on Friday the "allegations and lies" of the Israeli defense team before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that Egypt is responsible for preventing the entry of humanitarian and relief aid into the Gaza Strip from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing.

Israeli officials have confirmed dozens of times in public statements since the start of the aggression on Gaza that "they will not allow aid to enter the Gaza Strip, particularly fuel, because this is a part of the war that their state is waging against the Strip," Chairman of Egypt's State Information Service Diaa Rashwan, said in a statement.
