Egypt said on Saturday Israel's "deliberate killing" of unarmed Palestinians shows that it lacks a political will to end the war in Gaza.

Egypt's foreign ministry statement came after more than 100 Palestinians were killed and dozens wounded in an Israeli strike on a Gaza school sheltering displaced people, according to the official Palestinian news agency.

The Israeli army said it had hit a Hamas command center.

Also, in a call with his Nigerian counterpart Bakari Yao Sangare, Abdelatty underscored Egypt's role in assisting Niger in combating terrorism and building national capacities.
Both sides reviewed the latest developments in the Sahel region and West Africa and other regional and international issues.
The ministers also discussed the prospects of strengthening the existing bilateral cooperation frameworks during the coming period, especially in the economic and development fields.
Furthermore, Egypt's FM spoke to his Malian counterpart Abdoulaye Diop, given the “great importance of Mali in the Sahel region of Africa,” as described in the ministry statement.
During the phone call, Abdelatty affirmed Cairo's ongoing efforts to bolster security and stability in West Africa and support national governments in reclaiming sovereignty over their territories and combating terrorism.
