DUBAI: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Wednesday reaffirmed that the Palestinian cause is still “at the forefront of priorities” in the Middle East, emphasizing that peace and stability cannot be achieved in the region without a just resolution of the issue.
During his address at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, El-Sisi said resolving the Palestinian cause “forms the essence of the regional stability and a cornerstone to achieve a just and comprehensive peace.”
Egypt’s president welcomed the launch of the second phase of the ceasefire in Gaza, emphasizing the need to build on the outcomes of the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit on Oct. 13, 2025. The summit produced the Gaza Ceasefire Agreement, which halted two years of fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Shortly after his address to the WEF, Egypt’s foreign ministry said that El-Sisi had accepted an invitation from US President Donald Trump to join his “Board of Peace.”
Egypt “announces its acceptance of the invitation and its commitment to fulfilling the relevant legal and constitutional procedures,” the statement said, praising Trump for his Middle East policies.
