Egyptian President al-Sisi calls for international support for a two-state solution in response to US President Trump's contentious remarks regarding Gaza.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi highlighted the necessity for the international community to back the realization of a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as stated in a release from his office on Wednesday.
This appeal for global accountability arose during a phone discussion with French President Emmanuel Macron.
The statement did not specifically mention U.S. President
Donald Trump's recent remarks, made during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, where Trump suggested a plan to 'take over' Gaza after the relocation of Palestinians.
It remains uncertain if Trump’s proposal was a topic of discussion in the conversation between al-Sisi and Macron.
The statement signifies Egypt's continued push for a resolution that guarantees sovereignty for both Israelis and Palestinians, contrasting with Trump's contentious plan.
