In a joint news conference with the prime ministers of Spain and Belgium in Cairo, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi questioned the efficacy of the stagnant Israel-Palestinian peace process on Friday. Al-Sisi suggested that reviving this decades-long process “may not be what is required,” pointing to 30 years of faltering results.
“The results of this path faltering for 30 years tells us that we must adopt a different approach,” Al-Sisi emphasized. He proposed an alternative strategy, urging the international community to recognize the Palestinian state and facilitate its entry into the United Nations. According to Al-Sisi, this shift would demonstrate a more serious commitment to resolving the longstanding Israel-Palestinian issue.
Al-Sisi drew attention to the high civilian death toll in successive Gaza crises, attributing the unrest to the repeated failure of “political horizons for resolving the Palestinian cause” to meet the aspirations of the Palestinian people.
