عبدالفتاح السيسي

From this standpoint, Egypt appeals to both the United States and Iran to show the greatest possible flexibility at this stage, in order to find common ground for understanding that allows resolving the existing dispute, and I affirm my full confidence in President Trump, as a man of peace who has succeeded in defusing many difficult crises.

I stress this approach today, before it is too late, because the alternative will have catastrophic effects and consequences for the region and the world, which is suffering from successive crises, one after another, over six years.

I take this occasion as an opportunity to speak about de-escalation, and to call on all parties concerned with the current crisis between Iran and the United States to give space for understanding and dialogue, and to reach a political consensus that fulfills the main demands of all parties and addresses their concerns.
