President
Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi discussed on Wednesday the latest regional developments,
particularly the war on Gaza, with French Minister of Defense Sébastien
Lecornu, who is currently on a visit to Cairo.
Egyptian President warned of the widening circle of conflict and escalation in the region after recent developments and the Gaza war.
Egyptian
presidential spokesperson Ahmed Fahmy said that Sisi met with French Minister
of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu, where their meeting addressed the
regional situation and developments in the Gaza Strip.
“The
importance of avoiding the widening of the circle of conflict and escalation in
the region was stressed, and Mr. President reviewed the intensified Egyptian
efforts towards reaching a ceasefire and bringing in humanitarian aid to the
people of the Gaza Strip, in addition to receiving injured Palestinians and
evacuating foreign nationals,” Fahmy said.
The French
Minister affirmed his country’s appreciation for the continued Egyptian
efforts, praising the pivotal role that Egypt plays in maintaining regional
security and stability.
The war on
Gaza has entered its 40th day, as the Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip
continues as clashes erupt amid a complete siege on the residents of the Gaza
Strip, and the depletion of food and medical supplies, according to Egyptian media.
