CAIRO – 16 June 2025: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received a phone call from President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, on Sunday. The two leaders discussed regional developments, including the ongoing military escalation between Iran and Israel.
According to the spokesman for the Presidency, Mohamed El-Shennawy, President El-Sisi emphasized Egypt’s categorical rejection of any expansion of the cycle of conflict in the region, underscoring the crucial importance of ending Israel’s military operations across all regional fronts.
President El-Sisi warned that the continuation of the current approach will inflict grave harm on all the peoples of the region, with no exception.
President El-Sisi affirmed the necessity for the international community to assume a more effective role in compelling regional parties to act responsibly. The president asserted that peaceful solutions remain the sole viable means to ensure security and stability in the region.
President El-Sisi underlined the urgent need to resume the US-Iranian negotiations, under the auspices of the Sultanate of Oman, which represents the best solution to the current tension. President El-Sisi reiterated Egypt's unequivocal stance with regard to the imperative for establishing a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction, encompassing all states of the region.
President El-Sisi emphasized that a just and comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian issue remains the sole guarantor for achieving enduring peace and stability in the Middle East. This necessitates an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the release of hostages and detainees, the establishment of an independent Palestinian State along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as well as providing security for all peoples of the region.
