Regarding the developments in Gaza, Sisi said, "I make a special appeal to President Trump, because I personally believe his capabilities and standing are the ones capable of stopping the war. Therefore, I call on him to make every effort to stop the war in Gaza and allow aid into the country. I believe the time has come to end the war."
He stressed that "the conditions inside the Gaza Strip are tragic, and the situation has become unbearable. It is imperative that the largest possible amount of food and medical aid enter the Strip, as well as everything possible to end the suffering of the Palestinians."
He stressed that "Egypt is playing a loyal, honest, and honorable role in delivering aid to the Gaza Strip, and this will continue and will not change. It is keen to find solutions to end the war (in Gaza)."
Despite the scarcity of aid, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed on Sunday that he was allowing "the entry of a minimum level of aid into Gaza," and accused the United Nations of "fabricating lies" about the aid.
Gaza is experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis in its history, with a severe famine intertwined with a genocidal war waged by Israel, with US support, since October 7, 2023.
Since March 2, 2025, Israel has closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip, preventing the entry of most food and medical aid, causing a famine in the Strip.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a war of genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The genocide, backed by the United States, left more than 204,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons, and a famine that claimed the lives of many, including dozens of children.
