Sisi and Bin Salman Call for Ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon
In a significant diplomatic meeting, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have jointly called for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

During their talks in Cairo, the two leaders warned that any attempts to undermine the Palestinian cause would perpetuate the cycle of conflict in the Middle East. They urged for immediate calming measures, which include a halt to hostilities and addressing the deteriorating humanitarian situation in affected areas. The Egyptian presidency highlighted the importance of respecting Lebanon's sovereignty and maintaining its security and stability.
The discussions also covered the broader regional implications of the conflicts and the necessity for ongoing coordination between Egypt and Saudi Arabia to navigate this critical period for the Islamic world. In addition to the peace talks, the meeting resulted in the signing of the Egyptian-Saudi Supreme Coordination Council, aimed at enhancing bilateral relations and fostering economic cooperation in areas such as investment, energy, and tourism.
