More than six thousand Palestinians died and thousands were injured after 19 days of bombardment in the area, the president stressed during a press conference here with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
He also reiterated his criticism of any plan to evict the residents of this coastal enclave.
“Expelling Gazan Palestinians from their land would complicate the prospects of a two-state solution to resolve the conflict,” said El-Sisi, who last week rejected the expulsion of those people to the Sinai Peninsula, neighboring northeast Egypt.
The President reiterated this Wednesday the need to work to contain the conflict and prevent its spread in the region, but warned that the confrontation is already having an impact on the world.
He also once again condemned “the killing of all civilians on all sides.”
The lack of dialogue and a peace process is the real reason for the five rounds of conflict in the Gaza Strip, he said, citing clashes between Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which has controlled the territory since 2007.
“We are working to release more Hamas prisoners to calm the situation,” he said.
For his part, Macron announced that Paris would send a ship to help care for the thousands of wounded as hospitals in the Gaza Strip collapsed due to the total blockade imposed by Israel, which included cuts in fuel, medicine and drinking water. , food and electricity.
“We must avoid an escalation and aggravation of tensions in the region,” agreed the French president, although he supported the US and Israel counter-terrorism thesis with regard to Hamas.
It is necessary to work towards a political solution based on the two-state solution to avoid escalation and serious humanitarian consequences, the dignitary said.
