Egypt: No Normalization with Israel Without Ending Occupation, Says President Sisi

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has declared that true normalization and lasting stability in the Middle East cannot be achieved without a just and comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and Palestine. Speaking about the ongoing conflicts in the region, Sisi asserted that such a peace would provide the people of the Middle East with a genuine chance to live in stability and prosperity.

Egypt, which signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, remains a key player in regional diplomacy. President Sisi's remarks underscore the long-standing Egyptian position that the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is central to achieving broader regional peace.

There will be no lasting peace, real stability, and normalization in the eyes of the people without a just peace that ends the occupation, ends injustice and aggression, returns rights to their owners, and provides security for everyone.

"There will be no lasting peace, real stability, and normalization in the eyes of the people without a just peace that ends the occupation, ends injustice and aggression, returns rights to their owners, and provides security for everyone," Sisi stated, outlining the conditions for genuine progress.

He also urged support for the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas on October 10. Sisi highlighted the significant loss of life since the ceasefire began, noting that more than a thousand Palestinians have been killed. This call for adherence to the ceasefire and a commitment to a just peace reflects Egypt's continued efforts to foster stability in the region.
