Sisi proposes 6 immediate steps for peace in Gaza

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi proposed on Saturday six immediate steps to be taken to achieve peace in Gaza and the region.

The president highlighted the following immediate steps:

1. An immediate and sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip without conditions.

2. Halting all practices targeting the forced displacement of Palestinians.

3. Ensuring the international community’s responsibility to guarantee the security of innocent Palestinian civilians.

4. Ensuring safe, rapid, and sustainable access for humanitarian aid, with Israel fulfilling its international responsibility.

5. Achieving a settlement based on the two-state solution, establishing an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

6. Conducting an international investigation into all violations of international law.

Al-Sisi warned against unilateral policies and emphasised that any delay in a ceasefire in Gaza could lead to an expansion of military confrontations in the region.

He urged the world to unite in enforcing a just solution to the Palestinian people.

He also stressed on the importance of ending the occupation in a manner befitting our humanity and aligning with the values of justice, freedom, and respect for all rights.
