Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said Cairo has always been seeking to resolve conflicts. “We always aim to prevent the expansion of war,” he stated, addressing the exhaustion caused by the past four months of war in the Gaza Strip.
During a meeting with officials and media figures on the sidelines of the 72nd Police Day celebration in Cairo, El-Sisi said: “For more than 100 days, Israel has continued its brutal war and relentless attacks in the Gaza Strip, with overnight and early morning assaults, leaving the Palestinians facing multiple crises in health, food, humanitarian, and service levels.”
El-Sisi expressed his hope for resolving the conflict, especially on the Lebanese-Israeli borders, calling for a ceasefire, the release of captives and prisoners, and ultimately moving towards a post-war era.
Since the Israeli war on Gaza began in October, tensions have risen across the region, with Israel repeatedly striking Lebanese border villages, resulting in the killing of more than 195 people in the Lebanon, stoking fears of widening the conflict.
