Al-Sisi: Palestinian state would remove pretext for terror

  • 9 years ago
The creation of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital would remove one of the most problematic issues in the region, Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said in his speech to the UN General Assembly on Monday.
Al-Sisi added that such a move would also effectively eliminate one of the most dangerous pretexts for extremism and terror, stressing that "the recent events at al-Aqsa emphasize the need for a comprehensive solution."
Al-Sisi had, it said, been speaking about "peace between Arab countries and Israel on the condition that the Palestinian issue is resolved and a Palestinian state declared on 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital."
On the topic of Syria, al-Sisi claimed during the interview that the civil war must not end with the division of the country, warning that the collapse of Syria will lead to the regime's weapons falling into the hands of terrorists.
