For you, city of prayer, I pray

It is for you, O city of prayer, I pray. It is for you O city of splendid home, O flower of the cities, O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem. Our eyes set out to you every day. This song is engraved in our hearts. 

We are following up the recent bloody incidents of beating, killing, demolition, destruction, and the attempted genocide of the Palestinian people...or displacing them to Sinai, but as usual Egypt is showing a great position. The Egyptians announced a sit-in on the border at the Rafah crossing until humanitarian aid enters Gaza. Egypt also is holding Cairo summit for peace in the new administrative capital, in the presence of 31 countries and international organizations to calm the conflict.

Egypt's position was expressed by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to stop the bloodshed and launch a peace process. President Sisi announced it clearly and strongly that transferring civilians from Gaza to Sinai represents a declaration of war, and Egypt will not allow the Palestinian cause to be settled at the expense of other parties, and that a just peace and a comprehensive solution, based on a two-state solution, is the path to achieving real and sustainable security for the Palestinian people. 

Palestine will remain the gaping wound in the heart of the Arab nation, but we will not sacrifice an inch of the land of Sinai, which was restored by the lives of thousands of martyrs who sacrificed their blood and lives for it. Since we succeeded in liberating it, the machinations have not stopped to stop our path through creative chaos at times, planting the seeds of terrorism, spreading strife, and igniting the fires of hatred... But God blessed Egypt with an exceptional leader and a loyal national army that preserved it, and his courageous stances appeared in the face of great powers. 

The people took to streets to support president Sisi's stance at a time when our brothers in Gaza are suffering collective punishment through starvation, intimidation, attacking hospitals, killing children, and preventing aid, while Food and medicine trucks have been waiting at the border for about 10 days, and the wounded cannot find a pill or a drop of blood. 

But to where are the events taking us in Gaza... and what are the expected scenarios for the coming period? 

The stance of the president who protected Egypt and Egypt’s borders and was praised by the enemy before the friend, makes me reassured that this country will never be lost and its president will not give up a grain of sand from Sinai. I am confident that whatever the future scenarios are, the president and the army will remain the safety valve and the shield of protection for every inch of our land.

Let us all pray for Palestine.
