No ties with Israel until Palestine occupation ends, says El-Sisi

Cairo [Egypt], July 6: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi says there can be no normalisation of relations with Israel until its occupation of Palestinian territory ends.
"There will be no lasting peace, no true stability and no popular normalisation except with a just peace that ends the occupation, puts an end to injustice and aggression, restores rights to their rightful owners and provides security for all," he said in a speech.
El-Sisi, whose country was the first Arab state to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, said the solution to Middle East conflicts lies in a comprehensive peace agreement between Israel and Palestine. A just peace would provide the people of the region with "an opportunity to live in stability and prosperity", he said.
He also called for support for the Gaza ceasefire that took effect in October 2025. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel since then.
