Sisi makes a "special appeal" to Trump to end the war on Gaza.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Monday urged US President Donald Trump to end the war on Gaza and allow aid into the besieged Palestinian enclave.

"I make a general appeal to all countries of the world, to the European Union, to the United States, to our brothers in the Arab region. We are making every effort during this difficult period to stop the war, bring in aid, and end this crisis," Sisi said in a televised address.

He continued, "I make a special appeal to President Trump, because I personally believe that he, with his capabilities and his standing, is the one capable of stopping the war, bringing in aid, and ending this suffering."

The Egyptian president indicated that his speech came "in response to what is being circulated" and as a reminder of "our positions, which have always been positive."

He stressed that a large number of aid trucks are ready to cross the Rafah crossing, "and we cannot prevent them. Neither our values, the circumstances, nor our national and moral responsibility allow us to do so. But the crossing must be open on the Palestinian side for aid to enter."

Recently, the starvation of Palestinians in Gaza due to the Israeli blockade and US-backed war of extermination has reached unprecedented levels, according to local and international reports. Deaths from malnutrition and dehydration have increased, with the total number of martyrs reaching 147, including 88 children, according to medical sources in the Strip.

Since late May, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been leading a US-Israeli project to control food distribution in the besieged Strip, replacing international organizations that have rejected the project, describing it as a trap for killing civilians and a tool for displacing and humiliating the population.

For his part, the US President said in statements from Scotland today that the situation in Gaza is "very horrific" and that there is "real hunger," promising to open "food centers without barriers."

Since October 2023, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a war of extermination against the population of the Gaza Strip. This war has so far resulted in the martyrdom of approximately 60,000 Palestinians, the injury of more than 145,000, and the displacement of nearly the entire population of the Strip, amidst destruction unprecedented since World War II, according to Palestinian and international reports.
