CAIRO – 11 November 2024: President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi began his speech Monday at the Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh by noting that the convention is held "during very complicated regional conditions, and an aggression that have lasted for more than a year on Gaza Strip, West Bank and Lebanon amid a shameful silence and helplessness by the international community to carry out its minimum duties in the face of a precarious threat to international peace and security."
The president added that what is happening puts in question "the purpose of talking about justice and equity…in light of the daily bloodshed among children, women and elderly." He warned that "the future of the Middle East and the world is at a crossroad, and that the aggression against Palestinian and Lebanese territories imperils the entire world order."
The Egyptian president condemned the "systematic killing of civilians in Gaza Strip," underscoring that Egypt would "stand against all attempts to liquidate the Palestinian Cause, through whether the displacement of locals, moving them forcibly, or turning the Strip into an unlivable place." It is something that we will not accept under any circumstance," Sisi underscored.
The Egyptian chief of state underlined that the only way to accomplish peace and stability, and "transition from a regional order whose essence is conflict and hostility into another grounded in peace and development, is by the establishment of an independent Palestinian State on the borders of June 4, 1967 having as capital Eastern Jerusalem."
In a related context, the Egyptian president asserted commitment to providing assistance to Lebanon by supporting its state institutions, majorly the Lebanese army, as an attempt to stop the aggression and destruction. He equally stipulated the salience of a ceasefire, as well as complete and non-selective implementation of UNSC resolution no. 1701 issued in 2006 on halting hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
