Sissi says Egypt truce plan ‘real chance’ to end Gaza conflict
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Abdel Fattah al-Sissi says the Egyptian truce plan provides a “real chance” to end the Gaza conflict, stressing the need for its speedy implementation.
“The Egyptian proposal is the real chance to find a solution to the crisis in Gaza and to end the bloodshed,” Sisi tells a televised news conference.
A Palestinian delegation is expected in Cairo to discuss a truce, a day after a 72-hour ceasefire brokered by the US and the UN collapsed following an attack yesterday on IDF troops that killed two and led to the capture of one an hour and a half into the truce.
Hamas says the attack occurred before the ceasefire went into effect and denies abducting the soldier.
