President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received today, Wednesday, a phone call from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which they discussed the latest developments in the region, Presidential spokesperson Bassam Radi said.
President Sisi stressed Egypt's support for any steps that would bring peace to the region in a way that preserves the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, allows the establishment of their independent state and provides security to Israel.
The president also hailed the announcement of the Emirati-Israeli agreement under the auspices of the United States, pointing out that he considers it a "step toward peace."
Moreover, Sisi stressed that Israel must not take any unilateral measures that "undermine the chances for peace," asking it to refrain from annexing Palestinian lands, noting that this could provide space for negotiations between the Palestinian and Israeli sides.
The president explained that these negotiations will help in reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue on the basis of a two-state solution, in addition to achieving security, peace and prosperity for the peoples of the region.
He also confirmed the importance of adhering to the truce between the Palestinian and Israeli sides regarding the "Gaza" strip, in light of Egypt's continuous efforts to reduce tension between the two sides.
