Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi says there can be no normalisation of relations with Israel until its occupation of Palestinian territory ends.
– “There will be no lasting peace, no true stability and no popular normalisation except with a just peace that ends the occupation, puts an end to injustice and aggression, restores rights to their rightful owners and provides security for all,” he said in a speech.
– El-Sisi, whose country was the first Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, said the solution to Middle East conflicts lies in a comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and Palestine.
– A just peace would provide the people of the region with “an opportunity to live in stability and prosperity”, he said.
– He also called for support for the Gaza “ceasefire” that took effect in October 2025. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since then.
