Cairo, July 16 (Reporter Dong Xiuzhu) Egyptian President Sisi and French President Macron on the 16th focused on discussing issues such as promoting a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The two leaders reiterated the need to advance the implementation of the two-state solution as the best way to achieve lasting security and stability in the region.

The Egyptian Presidential Palace issued a statement on the same day saying that during the phone call, Sisi reviewed Egypt’s ongoing mediation efforts to promote an immediate ceasefire and exchange of detained persons, and stressed the need to unite international forces to facilitate mediation and provide sufficient humanitarian assistance to the people of the besieged Gaza Strip.

The statement also said that the two presidents agreed that strengthening international cooperation is of great significance to preventing the expansion of conflicts and the region from falling into a new cycle of conflicts.

Since a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out on October 7 last year, Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) have held multiple rounds of negotiations. There has been no new progress since the two sides reached a brief ceasefire in November last year in exchange for the release of some detainees. Last week, Egypt and Qatar hosted a new round of talks with the participation of the United States aimed at brokering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas, but little progress was made.
