Egyptian professor of political science, Hassan Salama, has stated that Egypt does not trade with the Palestinian issue and has no hidden agendas. He made these comments following a recent meeting between President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and a statement issued thereafter. Salama emphasized that the statement reflects a deep understanding of the complex interplay between internal and external issues. He noted that the current conflicts in the region and the world have a direct impact on Egypt's internal situation.
Salama highlighted that the Egyptian leadership's statements aimed to clearly link the developments in the Palestinian issue to the internal situation and the awareness of Egyptian citizens. He also mentioned that attempts to target state institutions require a unified and informed stance against escalating regional and international challenges. According to Salama, the Egyptian position on Gaza is summarized in three key points set by the President: no to displacement, no to resolving the Palestinian issue, and no to permanent peace without a comprehensive and fair solution.
The three points, as stated by Salama, guarantee the Palestinians' right to establish their independent state based on the principle of a two-state solution, a right they have been fighting for decades. He emphasized that Egypt has consistently refused to compromise on these principles. In response to ongoing attempts by the Israeli occupation to pressure Egypt into changing its stance, Salama asserted that Egypt's position on rejecting the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt remains firm.
According to Salama, Egypt has faced significant pressure and enticements from Israeli authorities to alter its stance and accept Gazans, but Egyptian authorities have remained resolute in their refusal. He described the red line set by President El-Sisi from the outset as still standing, as Egypt believes in the justice of the Palestinian cause and will not compromise on it. Salama emphasized that Egypt supports the Palestinian cause due to its historical role and significant responsibility.
Salama pointed out that Egypt's credibility and sincerity in its actions on the ground and diplomatic efforts have revitalized the Palestinian issue in international forums. These efforts have also contributed to changing global public opinion and encouraging many countries to recognize the Palestinian state. He reiterated that Egypt does not trade with the Palestinian issue and has no hidden agendas, affirming the country's commitment to the cause.
The professor's statements come amid heightened tensions in the region and ongoing conflicts. He stressed the importance of Egyptian awareness and unity in the face of these challenges. Salama's comments reflect the Egyptian government's stance on the Palestinian issue and its commitment to supporting the Palestinian people.
In conclusion, Salama's statements highlight Egypt's unwavering stance on the Palestinian issue. The country's position, as outlined by the professor, remains firm and committed to the principles of justice and fairness for the Palestinian people. Egypt's efforts to promote a comprehensive and fair solution to the Palestinian issue continue to be a significant aspect of its foreign policy.
