Sisi explains Egypt’s vision for restoring Middle East stability

On The other hand, Egypt denounced the Israeli Finance Minister’s claim that there is a moral justification for starving Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip…reports Asian Lite News

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi spoke by phone with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer. President El-Sisi expressed that Egypt looked forward to further enhancing cooperation between the two countries, particularly in the economic and investment fields, as well as increasing trade between the two countries.

The call also touched on the international and regional situations. President El-Sisi explained Egypt’s vision for restoring security and stability in the Middle East, which is currently experiencing a phase of ongoing escalation. President El-Sisi reviewed Egypt’s efforts to end the war in the Gaza Strip and to exchange captives. The President also emphasised the priority of allowing access to humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, alleviating their suffering, and advancing a political path based on the two-state solution.

The Spokesman for the Presidency, Dr. Ahmed Fahmy, pointed out that the British prime minister noted Egypt’s role and affirmed his commitment to maintaining intensive coordination with Egypt, within the framework of joint efforts to ensure security and stability in the region and to overcome the critical phase the Middle East is currently going through.

On The other hand, Egypt denounced the Israeli Finance Minister’s claim that there is a moral justification for starving Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, Egypt considers such shameful statements to be unacceptable both in form and substance, representing a clear violation of international humanitarian law and the four Geneva Conventions. These laws impose an obligation on Israel, as the occupying power, to ensure a safe life and provide basic living necessities for the Palestinian people under occupation.

Egypt reminded all parties in the international community that the foundations of international humanitarian law have been developed over the past decades to combat and prevent practices that violate human dignity.

It called for an effective international effort to address the tragedies faced by civilians in the Gaza Strip, ensuring the preservation of minimum legal and moral standards in times of conflict.
