00:02Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi called for de-escalation in the Middle East amid renewed
00:08attacks between the US and Iran, Israeli attacks on Gaza and Lebanon and fighting in Yemen. El-Sisi
00:16was speaking at a press conference with his Cypriot counterpart. Here let me reiterate Egypt's
00:24position calling for de-escalation and prioritizing political solutions to prevent the region from
00:29sliding into a wider cycle of conflict. I also reaffirm Egypt's steadfast stance rejecting any
00:36attempts to undermine our sister Arab nations, ensuring full and sustained access for humanitarian
00:42aid for Gaza as well as reiterating our complete rejection of any attempts aimed at displacing the
00:48Palestinian people, altering the demographic composition of the Palestinian territories
00:53or fragmenting them and emphasizing the importance of working to guarantee the Palestinian people's
00:58right to remain on their land. On Wednesday, an Israeli air strike hit a refugee camp in Gaza City,
01:08sending a large plume of smoke billowing into the air. At least nine people were injured in the attacks.
