Abou El-Enein: Egypt’s Security "Red Line", No Compromise on Palestinian Rights

Deputy Speaker of Egypt’s House Mohamed Abou El-Enein reaffirmed the country’s commitment to upholding its sovereignty and the rule of law, declaring Egypt’s national security a “red line that cannot be crossed.”

Speaking during a phone interview on Sada El-Balad channel, Abou El-Enein said: “We have precise calculations, and we know well what we have and what we owe. Our political leadership is fully aware of everything happening around us.”

He warned that certain parties are attempting to drag Egypt into regional conflicts, but asserted that the awareness of both the state and the Egyptian people has been key in thwarting such efforts.

Abou El-Enein highlighted Egypt’s longstanding support for the Palestinian cause, stating: “We will not give up our rights or the rights of the Palestinian people. We remain committed to firm positions that uphold the dignity of the Arab nation.”

He also downplayed external threats and conspiracies targeting Egypt and the wider region, describing them as “mere bubbles that will dissolve in the air.” The Deputy Speaker concluded by expressing strong confidence in Egypt’s political leadership and the resilience of its people in the face of mounting challenges.
