President Abdel Fattah El Sisi affirmed today that Egypt’s remains steadfast in supporting its Arab and regional partners and will continue to reject any acts of aggression that threaten peace and stability.
Speaking during the annual Iftar banquet hosted by the Armed Forces, marking the commemoration of the 10th of Ramadan victories, President Sisi emphasised Egypt’s commitment to regional de-escalation and constructive mediation.
”Developments have occurred rapidly. Egypt has emphasised de-escalation, calm, and the hope of halting hostilities, even while acknowledging the challenges of achieving this.

He added: “Over the past months, Egypt has made sincere efforts to mediate between key international parties, including the United States and Iran, to prevent escalation.

We act with prudence, aware that mistakes can have far-reaching effects.”

The president concluded: “Unity between the state and the people is essential. Stability, resilience, and patience are key to Egypt’s achievements. With God’s guidance and your continued commitment, we will overcome challenges responsibly. Egypt is strong, secure, and protected, and no force can harm this nation.”
