Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned on Saturday of an “unprecedented conflict” within the area, calling for worldwide intervention to stop it and urging collective efforts to cease-fire within the Gaza Strip, the presidency stated in a press release.
This got here throughout Sisi’s assembly with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on the sidelines of the Egyptian-EU Investment Conference in Cairo.
The assembly touched on “ways to confront the escalating regional challenges, particularly the developments in the Gaza Strip and their impact on regional security and stability.”
The Egyptian president emphasised “the necessity of concerted international efforts to reach an immediate ceasefire and the urgent access to humanitarian aid in Gaza to avert the humanitarian catastrophe facing the Palestinian people.”
He reiterated his nation’s warning of “the expansion of the gravely escalating conflict and called on the international community to take serious and swift steps to prevent the region from sliding into a new and unprecedented cycle of conflict.”
According to the Egyptian assertion, either side agreed that attaining a complete and simply answer to the Palestinian situation “based on the two-state solution and in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions remains the optimal path to ensure sustainable stability in the region.”
For her half, von der Leyen affirmed that the convention underscored “the shared interests between the two sides and the European Union’s commitment to supporting Egypt’s development and economic reform path.”
Sisi’s remarks got here at a time when tensions had been rising alongside Lebanon’s border with Israel amid cross-border assaults between Hezbollah and Israeli forces as Tel Aviv presses forward with its lethal offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has killed over 37,800 individuals since final Oct. 7.
