FM: Egypt Sets Clear Red Lines in Foreign Policy

Egyptian Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty said Egypt has defined a set of firm red lines in its foreign policy to safeguard national security and protect core strategic interests amid ongoing regional crises.

Speaking on key foreign policy challenges, Abdelatty stressed Egypt’s categorical rejection of forced displacement and any attempts to divide the Gaza Strip, describing both issues as non-negotiable principles guiding Cairo’s regional stance.

The foreign minister added that Egypt has also drawn a clear red line regarding Sudan, underscoring its commitment to preserving the unity and territorial integrity of the Sudanese state amid the ongoing conflict there.

Abdelatty further emphasized that Egypt considers its water security an existential matter, noting that the country has established an uncompromising red line to confront any threats to its historical rights to water resources. He described access to water as a fundamental right tied to existence and life, adding that Egypt will not tolerate any infringement on its water rights.

Egypt’s declared red lines reflect what officials describe as a consistent and principled foreign policy aimed at maintaining regional stability, preventing humanitarian catastrophes, and protecting the country’s vital national interests.
