Tsukerman: Sisi Sent a Clear Message by Invoking Trump in Gaza Speech
H-Tayea Geopolitical analyst Irina Tsukerman has weighed in on Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's speech delivered on Monday, describing it as a calculated and strategic appeal that reframes the Gaza crisis as a test of global leadership, and places US President Donald Trump at the center of that equation. In his address yesterday, President Sisi broke with conventional diplomatic language by directly invoking Trump by name, presenting the former U.S. president as the only global figure capable of ending the war in Gaza. According to Tsukerman, this was far from symbolic. 'It was a deliberate and pointed message,' she said, 'meant to express frustration with the current stagnation in diplomacy and to draw attention to Trump's historical influence over Israel and regional dynamics.' Sisi's speech, which came amid continued humanitarian collapse in Gaza, also emphasized Egypt's ongoing role as mediator and aid facilitator. He detailed the efforts to coordinate humanitarian access through the Rafah and Kerem Abu Salem crossings, stressing that 600 to 700 trucks per day are needed to meet basic needs—far more than what is currently allowed. Tsukerman noted that this language was aimed at highlighting Egypt's burden, while subtly pushing Israel, Hamas, and the United States to remove obstacles that are blocking critical aid. She also pointed out that Sisi's direct reference to Trump served as a clear rebuke to the current U.S. administration, especially in light of the recent collapse of the Doha talks, which failed to yield any breakthrough. By bypassing traditional multilateral diplomacy, Sisi appeared to be advocating for decisive personality-driven action, reminiscent of previous Trump-era interventions in the region. In his remarks, Sisi also made it clear that Egypt rejects any proposal for the displacement of Palestinians into Sinai, asserting that Egypt would not tolerate forced relocation under any circumstances. Tsukerman emphasized that this statement was more than a domestic message—it was a reaffirmation of Egypt's long-standing support for the two-state solution and a firm stance against any plan that seeks to resolve the crisis at the expense of Egyptian sovereignty or regional stability. 'Sisi's message was not just about aid or diplomacy,' Tsukerman said. 'It was about redefining the conversation around Gaza and assigning responsibility to the international actors who can actually shift the outcome.' The speech, delivered on Monday, was one of the most assertive public statements by the Egyptian president since the beginning of the current Gaza war. And by placing the burden of action on Trump's shoulders, Sisi reframed the crisis as not just a regional conflict, but a moment of global reckoning. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

MCE Condemns Terrorist Attack on Catholic Church in Congo
Mohamed Mandour The Muslim Council of Elders, chaired by Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, on Monday strongly condemned the deadly terrorist attack on a Catholic church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which left several civilians dead and many others wounded. In an official statement, the Council denounced the assault as a "heinous and cowardly act" and described the targeting of places of worship as a 'horrific crime that contradicts the teachings of all religions and violates universal human, moral, and spiritual values.' The Council extended its heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Congo, as well as to the families of the victims, offering prayers for the recovery of those injured and for strength and solace to the bereaved. 'This attack is a painful reminder of the urgent need for global unity against terrorism in all its forms,' the statement added. The incident marks another tragic blow to the ongoing struggle for peace and security in the central African nation. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
