In a statement on his official Facebook page, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi welcomed the recent ceasefire agreement in Gaza. 

"I welcome the agreement to ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after tireless efforts spanning more than a year, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States," El-Sisi wrote.

The Egyptian leader mentioned the critical need for immediate humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza to alleviate the dire conditions they are facing. "With this agreement, I emphasize the importance of expediting the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza to address the current catastrophic humanitarian situation, without any obstacles, until sustainable peace is achieved through a two-state solution. This will allow the region to enjoy stability, security, and development in a world that accommodates everyone," El-Sisi stated.

President El-Sisi also reiterated Egypt's steadfast commitment to supporting peace and advocating for the rights of the Palestinian people. "Egypt will always remain faithful to its commitments, a supporter of just peace, a sincere partner in achieving it, and a defender of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people," he affirmed.
