- We are prepared to do everything necessary to de-escalate tensions, secure navigation, and restore stability to the region.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi stressed on Wednesday that Egypt harbors no ambitions or hidden agendas toward anyone, and that its priority is safeguarding its borders and national security. He emphasized in this context that the national security of Gulf states is an integral part of Egypt’s national security, just as Egypt’s national security is an extension of the Gulf states’ national security.
During a seminar titled “The Nation of Heroes,” marking the 53rd anniversary of the October victories, el-Sisi added that “Egypt, based on this principle, supports its brothers in the Gulf states, and is ready to do everything necessary to de-escalate tensions, secure navigation, and restore stability to the region.” He reaffirmed that Egypt aims to reduce tensions and find a solution to the crisis in the region, thereby supporting the security and stability of the Gulf states.

El-Sisi stressed that Egypt’s adoption of the two-state solution stems from a steadfast vision and firm conviction that this path represents the realistic means to achieve a just and lasting peace in the region, and to establish a respected Palestinian state and an Israeli state. He noted that “this proposal is not new; rather, it represents the Egyptian vision to ensure stability for generations to come.”
In response to recent statements by an Israeli official regarding Sinai, el-Sisi affirmed that Egypt fought a defensive war to protect its land and fully reclaimed its territory. He questioned whether certain circles within the Israeli side harbor unjustified perceptions or concerns regarding Egyptian ambitions toward them, noting that the peace treaty signed between Egypt and the Israeli side “serves as the governing framework for relations between the two parties, and that Egypt harbors no ambitions toward anyone.”
Regarding the challenges facing Egypt, el-Sisi emphasized that maintaining national awareness, preserving the collective memory of Egyptians, and countering disinformation campaigns and the distortion of facts constitute a shared national responsibility. He warned against attempts to target the state’s stability from within.
He stressed that preserving Egypt and ensuring the continuity of its institutions remains a top priority, alongside continuing efforts to achieve development, safeguard national security, and support de-escalation efforts in the region.
He added that the Egyptian state has witnessed attempts at economic reform since 1976, and that it continues today to implement an economic reform program aimed at enhancing its capabilities and achieving development.
He affirmed the necessity for everyone to fulfill their responsibilities, each in their respective position, to enhance public awareness and clarify the dangers of attempts to overthrow states from within, especially in light of organized campaigns targeting the Egyptian state and seeking to negatively impact its stability and cohesion.
President el-Sisi clarified that confronting these challenges is not solely the responsibility of state apparatuses, but rather a shared national responsibility that requires the combined efforts of the state and society as a whole.
He pointed out that the rumors and deliberate attempts to distort public awareness and stir up public opinion witnessed in recent months fall within the framework of efforts aimed at undermining stability and inciting unrest within the Egyptian state.
He warned that subjecting the state to disturbances similar to those experienced in 2011 would have serious repercussions threatening its stability and ability to endure.
In this context, el-Sisi affirmed that the state has a constitution approved by Egyptians, stressing that it will not be tampered with, and warning against meddling with the minds of Egyptians.
