CAIRO – Egypt mainly prioritizes putting an end to the bloodshed of the Palestinians as soon as possible, Presidential Spokesman Ahmed Fahmy said Friday.
Egypt has been making contacts and taking steps at all levels since Oct. 7 to save the lives of all Palestinians and avoid any further bloodshed, he said.
Some 75% or 80% of aid and relief supplies are sent by Egypt to Gaza, including assistance provided by the Egyptian government, people, institutions and NGOs to help the Palestinians, Fahmy said, underling the need to send more aid for Gazans.
The political leadership’s main responsibility is to protect Egypt and defend its national security, he reiterated, reaffirming that Cairo rejects the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.
Fahmy stressed that Egypt has a firm and clear stance on the Palestinian cause as stated by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi since Oct. 7.
The Palestinian cause can be only settled through reaching a just solution, he said, noting that security lies in peace and the establishment of the Palestinian state with peaceful coexistence.
International powers and Arab countries are keen to put an end to killings and violence and reach a ceasefire agreement, he said in reference to the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Egypt.
