We Stand Together

In a time of sudden surprises and turbulent incidents sweeping across the Middle East, the Egyptian people, under the leadership of heroic President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and his firm and wise stances, are proving that they stand united in the face of challenges.

The world woke up a few days ago to the Israeli strike against Iran, the Iranian response, and the escalation in the region.

Egypt, thanks to the wisdom of its political leadership and the awareness of its people, is experiencing a state of cohesion and stability amidst a turbulent environment plagued by crises and conflicts. The Egyptian people, with their age-old civilization, know well that the stability of the state is the foundation for its protection.

Amid this tense atmosphere, Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly's meeting with the ministers responsible for food security, energy, and electricity sent a clear message that the state is taking proactive action to protect citizens and secure their fuel and electricity needs as summer approaches, and to protect the country from any potential consequences of escalation in the Gulf region or the Middle East.

We all know that our region is currently experiencing stormy weather, but Egypt, thanks God, has a clear vision for securing its borders and protecting its national security in all directions, from the western border with Libya, to the southern border with Sudan, to the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, all the way to the northeast, where the Palestinian issue remains present in the heart and conscience.

We cannot ignore the ongoing attempts to push Egypt into chaos, as we saw with the so-called "Soumoud Convoy (Resilience Convoy)" which moved from abroad under the banner of aid, while concealing malicious intentions at a particularly crucial time. But Egypt—its leadership and people—has been and will remain vigilant against these recurring scenarios.

Today, we must all stand united behind our political leadership and be vigilant against the schemes of those seeking to sow internal confusion through chaos or incitement. This is a time for steadfastness and unity for that sake of our homeland.

Egypt, which has overcome major crises and faced grave threats over the past years, is today capable—thanks to God, and to the wisdom of its leadership and the cohesion of its people—of overcoming this phase and remaining as it has always been.
