Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi issues an impassioned call for US President Donald Trump to intervene to put an end to the fighting in Gaza, saying “the time has come to end the war.”
In a video address on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Sissi says Trump “is the one capable of stopping the war, bringing in aid and ending this suffering.”
“Therefore, I am making a special appeal to His Excellency President Trump: please make every effort to stop the war and bring in aid,” he declares.
The US president said today that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, which mediation by the US, Egypt and Qatar has so far failed to secure, is “possible.”
