El-Sisi warns against Middle East map reshaping attempts on Sinai Liberation Day
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, in a speech marking Sinai Liberation Day, warned of "deliberate attempts to reshape the Middle East map under extremist ideological pretexts." He emphasized that the region's path forward should prioritize cooperation, reconstruction, and peace over occupation, destruction, or bloodshed. El-Sisi stressed the importance of respecting state sovereignty and territorial integrity, cautioning against efforts to divide countries or seize their resources, and against inciting internal or international conflicts. He highlighted political solutions and negotiations as optimal for preventing further disasters. Amid the current war in Iran, El-Sisi condemned attacks on Arab states, affirming Egypt's support for their sovereignty and territorial integrity and its consistent backing of Arab rights internationally. He stated that solidarity is crucial for regional countries to overcome hardships and that Egypt remains a pillar for its Ummah. The President acknowledged significant challenges over the past decade, including terrorism, the coronavirus pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, the war in Gaza, and the war in Iran, noting a LE 10 billion loss in Suez Canal revenues due to attacks in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. He also mentioned the influx of nearly ten million migrants and global price surges. Despite these, El-Sisi asserted Egypt's stability and resilience. He reassured Egyptians that the nation would remain steadfast through cohesion and awareness. Marki
