Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said on Wednesday that the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs evacuated the staff of its embassies in Morocco and Egypt.
The Israeli newspaper reported that the Foreign Ministry evacuated employees of the Israeli embassy in Cairo and the liaison office in Rabat due to the demonstrations against the situation in Gaza.
The evacuation process comes within the state of maximum alert declared in all Israeli embassies around the world, additional security measures, and the transfer of envoys from sensitive countries to safer countries, according to the same source.
Several Arab cities are witnessing mass demonstrations in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
On Tuesday evening, angry demonstrations took place following an explosion that killed hundreds of Palestinians in a hospital in Gaza. More marches are expected to be held on Wednesday.
Palestinian officials said the explosion was caused by an Israeli air strike, while Tel Aviv said the explosion, which occurred at the Ahli Baptist Hospital, was the result of a failed rocket launch by Hamas.
The Director-General of the World Health Organization confirmed, on Wednesday, that the situation in Gaza is “out of control” due to the inability to deliver ready-to-deliver humanitarian aid.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: “With every second that we delay bringing in medical assistance, we lose lives,” stressing that medical supplies have been stuck for 4 days at the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
