By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Israel's current military escalation in the Gaza Strip "is grave and dangerous, and puts in peril peace efforts conducted by Egypt with the concerned parties," Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul-Gheit was quoted as saying Friday in a Foreign Ministry statement.
Aboul-Gheit called on Israel to immediately cease its military operations in Gaza, describing them as "excessive use of force."
