Egypt's Foreign Ministry says minister's comments were 'twisted'

Egypt’s Foreign Ministry on Monday evening said the media had twisted comments by Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry into implying that the killing of Palestinian Arab children did not constitute terror.

“Anybody who has ears can check the video of the meeting with the high school students that is available on the Facebook page of the spokesman of the Foreign Ministry and be sure that the question posed by the children had no connection whatsoever to the murder of innocent Palestinians,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said in a statement quoted by Yedioth Ahronoth.
