Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi praised UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s statements regarding the UK’s move to recognize Palestine as a state.
President Sisi affirmed on his Facebook page that “Britain’s announcement of this decision is the right step towards restoring the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.”
“I look forward to the UK taking this historic decision as soon as possible, unconditionally,” reiterating Egypt’s firm position that a just and comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian issue is the only way to achieve sustainable peace in the Middle East.
Earlier on Friday, Egypt hailed French President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement of his country’s intention to officially recognize the State of Palestine.
Egypt previously emphasized the importance of concerted regional and international efforts to end the suffering of the Palestinian people.
It emphasized the moral and legal responsibility of all members of the international community and the Security Council to intervene to halt the genocide perpetrated by Israel within the occupied Palestinian territories, thereby preserving regional and international peace and security.
