President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said that Egypt, a consistent supporter of peace, believes that peace is not born by bombing, imposed by force, or achieved through normalization that the people reject.
Addressing the nation on the 12th anniversary of the June 30 revolution on Monday, Sisi added: "True peace is built on the foundations of justice, fairness and understanding,".
"The continuation of war and occupation will not produce peace, but rather will feed the cycle of hatred and violence, and open the doors to revenge and resistance... That will not shut down ... Enough with the violence, killing, and hatred, enough with the occupation, displacement, and homelessness," he noted.
Sisi continued: "Peace, although it may seem difficult to achieve, is not impossible. It has always been the choice of the wise. Let us draw inspiration from the experience of the Egyptian-Israeli peace process in the 1970s, which was brokered by the United States, as proof that peace is possible if intentions are sincere. Peace in the Middle East will only be achieved with the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, based on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital."
