Egypt’s el-Sisi says two-state solution is ‘the only way to achieve peace’

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, speaking at the peace summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, has said a two-state solution is the “only way” to secure lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians.

He said Egypt would work with “all partners” to lay the foundation for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.


What’s next for Gaza after captives-prisoners exchange?

We have a 20-point plan, and we are now at number five. So there’s a whole lot more steps that need to happen if this is going to continue.

First and foremost, they need to figure out who is running the Gaza Strip. The Trump plan calls for technocrats.

They also need to form an international security force, because the plan says the Israeli military will pull back to certain lines once that security force, made up – we believe – of soldiers from predominantly Muslim countries, are able to secure that area.

Of course, there’s the rebuilding.

And Trump says he will be the chairman of the “Board of Peace” that will implement next steps. There’s also the funding for the rebuilding. We heard US Vice President JD Vance say some 24 hours ago that they thought Israel would pay some of the money. But we are not exactly sure if that is in the cards.

But there are 15 more steps to get to the 20th, which is about talks for a two-state solution.
