Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark, stated that President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is making significant efforts to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people, emphasizing that the Palestinian cause has been Egypt’s cause for decades.
He noted that the war on Gaza has exceeded all humanitarian standards.
In an interview with "Extra News" TV channel, Pope Tawadros II said: “Humanity is absent in the conflicts we are witnessing, especially in the Gaza Strip. Egypt is making every effort, both internally and externally, to achieve peace in Palestine.”
“There are attempts to destroy the infrastructure in Gaza. We are facing a dangerous situation where people are drifting away from their faith. We see these painful scenes and call for peace, the preservation of families, and for people to live in safety," he added.
