Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has called on the international community, including U.S. President Donald Trump, to advocate for a “just peace” in the Middle East, using the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel as a model for resolving regional conflicts.
In a recent statement, President Sisi emphasized the significance of the Egyptian-Israeli peace agreement, which was signed in 1979, as a key example of a successful resolution to a long-standing conflict. He urged the international community to consider this approach in addressing the broader issues in the Middle East, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Sisi’s comments come amid increasing tensions in the region, with neighboring countries such as Jordan and Egypt facing rising public discontent over the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. These tensions have prompted Egypt to strengthen its diplomatic efforts and to bolster its military presence in the Sinai Peninsula.
The Egyptian leader reiterated his country’s commitment to a two-state solution, advocating for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. He also expressed confidence that the United States, under President Trump, could play a pivotal role in facilitating a lasting and fair resolution to the conflict.
As the situation in Gaza continues to unfold, Sisi’s remarks highlight Egypt’s desire for a balanced and peaceful resolution, calling for justice and mutual respect to guide the path forward in the Middle East.
