Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said that Egypt, as history has shown, stands as an impregnable barrier against attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause.

He added in his speech on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the liberation of Sinai, today, Friday, that the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip is destroying everything and leaving tens of thousands of victims in a shameful humanitarian tragedy that will remain etched in history.

Sisi stressed that the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip must be carried out in accordance with the Arab-Islamic plan, without any form of displacement.

He reiterated that a just and comprehensive peace will only be achieved through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions.

Sisi continued: "History bears witness that the peace between Egypt and Israel, brokered by the United States, is a model to be emulated for ending conflicts and retaliatory tendencies and consolidating peace and stability."

He added: We look forward to the international community, led by the United States and President Trump, playing the expected role toward a just peace.
