President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi stated on Tuesday that Gulf security is an integral part of Egyptian national security, expressing Cairo's full solidarity with Manama amidst regional tensions. These remarks were made during his visit to Bahrain, where he met with King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa after a visit to Qatar. The Spokesperson for the Egyptian Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, reported that Sisi underscored Egypt’s unwavering support for Bahrain’s stability and condemned any unjustified attacks against the kingdom as a violation of international law and a dangerous regional escalation. He reiterated Egypt's rejection of attempts to compromise the security of Bahrain, Gulf Cooperation Council nations, or the broader Arab region, affirming Cairo's stance with its partners to protect their sovereignty. Sisi also praised King Hamad's leadership in maintaining regional stability and detailed Egypt's diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions peacefully. King Hamad welcomed El-Sisi and appreciated Egypt's continuous support for Gulf security. Both leaders emphasized the need for close coordination and joint action to address shared challenges and restore stability.
