Egyptian journalist Mohamed Jamal stated that Egypt's foreign policy is built on a strategic approach of balance and openness with various international powers. The country has established balanced relations with the US, Russia, China, the European Union, and the BRICS group, while refusing to interfere in internal affairs and rejecting a unipolar world order. This approach allows Egypt to navigate complex global issues effectively.
Egypt is actively engaged in addressing various crises, including the war in Gaza, the Sudanese crisis, the escalation in Libya, and tensions between Iran and Israel. According to Jamal, Egyptian diplomacy is guided by constants such as preserving national security and preventing the elimination of the Palestinian issue. Egypt's stance since October 7, 2023, has been to reject the displacement of Palestinians and advocate for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem, based on the 1967 borders.
Jamal emphasized that military experiments in the region have proven ineffective in resolving crises, while diplomatic and negotiation-based solutions are the only means to achieve stability. He noted that Egypt, under its current political leadership, is working diligently to consolidate this approach, which is rooted in internal stability that serves as the foundation for a strong and effective foreign policy.
