Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi stressed that Egypt is working with its partners to restore peace and stability in the Gaza Strip. He noted that Egypt is holding contacts with the Palestinian and Israeli sides.
Sisi made the remarks on Saturday during his meeting with students and teaching staff of the Military Academy within the framework of an inspection tour at the academy.
The president said “We held contacts around the clock to prevent the situation in the Gaza Strip from spinning out of control.”
Sisi said Egypt is dealing efficiently with the current international crises as there was no shortage in commodities reserves.
Moreover, Sisi congratulated students whose study at the academy is about to end in order to join the Armed Forces, stressing keenness on selecting the best personnel for joining the Armed Forces.
We are keen to choose the best elements to join the military academies under specific criteria and standards,” President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said.
Meeting the required conditions is the only criterion we take care of. There are no other ways to enroll in military academies, he added.
President Sisi also reassured the attendants about the internal situation, saying that the state was keen to reduce the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic and Russian-Ukrainian crisis on the Egyptian people.
We managed to avoid any shortage in
basic commodities and secure availability of all goods at reasonable prices over
the past two years, Sisi said.
President Sisi said the state was keen to cushion the direct impact of rising international prices on citizens so that they would not feel price hikes.
The president said the state is keen on securing commodities at suitable prices despite of strapped supply chains, lack of available commodities and rising shipping prices that affected commodities prices.
This is also applicable to energy prices, including electricity, diesel oil and benzene, he said.
