Sisi: No Peace Without Palestinian State on 1967 Borders

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stated on Sunday that there is no alternative to a just and lasting resolution of the Palestinian issue. He insisted that any solution must be based on a two-state framework. Speaking during a meeting, Sisi called for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. He specified that its borders must be those of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. The president urged the international community to speed up the implementation of a U.S.-led peace plan. He did not provide further details on the timeline or specific next steps. Sisi’s remarks reaffirm Egypt’s long-standing position on the conflict. The two-state solution remains the official policy of many nations, though progress has stalled in recent years.
