Egypten har, uden at det er rapporteret i større medier, støttet Israel og slået fast, at de mange civile tab i Gaza skyldes Hamas' uansvarlige opførsel. Den egyptiske pressemeddelelse synes koordineret med Israel:
Egypt, meanwhile, has issued a statement saying that Hamas is to blame for the possible deaths of hundreds of Gazan civilians. The statement appears to have purposely been issued simultaneously with the statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office.
