Egyptian mediation

A few days ago, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi stressed that Egypt's pursuit of peace, and considering it its strategic choice, requires it not to leave the Palestinians without security to obtain their legitimate rights.

Al-Sisi addressed the Egyptian people in a speech during the graduation ceremony of students from the academy and military colleges, on Thursday, saying: “I call on all parties to uphold the language of reason and wisdom, and to adhere to the utmost levels of self-restraint, and to remove civilians, children, and women from the cycle of brutal revenge, and to return immediately to the negotiating path.” To avoid fires that will break out.”

Al-Sisi stressed that Egypt will harness all its capabilities and efforts for mediation, in coordination with all international and regional actors, without restriction or condition.

Al-Sisi stressed that Egypt’s pursuit of peace, and considering it its strategic choice, requires it “not to abandon the brothers in precious Palestine, and to preserve the capabilities of the brotherly Palestinian people, and to ensure that they obtain their legitimate rights. This is our firm and firm position, and it is not a decision we take, but rather a doctrine latent in our souls and consciences, hoping.” May the voices of peace be louder.
