Egypt's Sisi warns of 'deliberate attempts' to redraw Middle East map

“Deliberate efforts” are being made to redraw the map of the Middle East, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi warned on Saturday.

“The Middle East is going through critical circumstances amid deliberate efforts to redraw its map,” Sisi said in a televised speech to mark the 44th anniversary of Sinai’s liberation from Israeli occupation.

He called for full implementation of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal, which was reached last October, including unhindered entry of humanitarian aid and the immediate launch of the Palestinian enclave’s reconstruction.

Israel’s two-year genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023 has devastated the enclave, killing more than 72,500 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
