Egyptian President Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi says Palestinian reconciliation is an important step toward peace in the region.
“If the world powers see the unity of the Palestinian parties, it will help to realize complete peace in the region,” Sissi says in a video message delivered by Egypt’s chief of intelligence, Khaled Fawzy, to the Palestinian Authority cabinet currently meeting in the Gaza Strip.
“There is a chance to achieve peace in the region through the concerted efforts of all parties,” Sissi adds.
The Egyptian president says he sent Fawzy to Gaza to show Egypt’s commitment to providing assistance to accomplish “the mission” of Palestinian unity.
“We do not have time to lose, and history will hold accountable those who waste the current opportunity to achieve peace,” Sissi said.
