Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has made it clear that full and normalization of relations with the country is not possible until the end of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories.
\nThe Qatar-based media outlet Al Jazeera reported this information in a report on Sunday (July 5). Addressing Israel, Sisi said that there is no possibility of lasting peace, stability or normalization of relations between the peoples of the Middle East without establishing a just peace.
\nIn a speech, al-Sisi said, “As long as the occupation is ended, injustice and aggression are stopped, the rights of the true owners are restored and a just peace that ensures the security of all is established, there is no question of lasting peace, real stability or normalization of relations at the people’s level.”
\nHe also stressed the need for a comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and Palestine as a lasting solution to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. According to him, a just peace agreement could open a new path to stability and prosperity for the people of the region.
\nAl-Sisi’s statement is particularly significant, as Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. Although diplomatic relations were established between the two countries after that historic agreement, Cairo has long been in favor of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the Palestinian issue.
\nThe Egyptian president also expressed concern about the situation in Gaza. He supported the international community in maintaining the ceasefire that came into effect in October 2025. However, the violence has not completely stopped even after the ceasefire took effect. According to various sources, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since then.
\nAccording to regional analysts, despite Israel’s diplomatic efforts to normalize relations with several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, the position of Arab countries is still a major obstacle to the establishment of a Palestinian state. Al-Sisi’s recent statement has further strengthened that position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
