Egypt Condemns ‘Greater Israel’ Rhetoric, Reaffirms Commitment to Peace in Middle East

The Arab Republic of Egypt has reiterated its firm commitment to establishing peace in the Middle East, expressing strong condemnation of recent rhetoric in some Israeli media outlets concerning the concept of a so-called "Greater Israel." 

Cairo described such discourse as provocative and destabilizing, warning that it undermines regional peace efforts and reflects an insistence on escalation rather than dialogue.

In a statement issued Wednesday by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt called on Israeli authorities to clarify these reports, which it said are inconsistent with international aspirations for peace and security in the region.

“Such narratives only serve to fuel instability and contradict the shared goals of regional and international actors who are committed to peace and the pursuit of a political resolution,” the statement read.

Egypt emphasized that lasting peace cannot be achieved without a return to negotiations and a comprehensive political solution to the ongoing conflict. It reiterated its position that the only viable path forward is the two-state solution, involving the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The statement also called for an immediate end to the ongoing war in Gaza, stressing that continued military escalation only deepens the humanitarian crisis and further distances the region from a sustainable peace.
