Cairo, September 17, 2025 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi on Wednesday praised Spain’s recognition of a Palestinian state and its support for a two-state solution during talks in Cairo with King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, who are on their first state visit to Egypt, the presidency said.
El-Sisi and the Spanish monarchs called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of detainees, and the entry of humanitarian aid without restrictions.
Both sides rejected Israeli attempts to displace Palestinians from their land, warning that such actions would amount to liquidating the Palestinian cause and could trigger mass displacement and irregular migration towards Europe.
They also condemned Israeli settlement expansion and annexation plans in the occupied West Bank.
“We are also witnessing persistent attempts to fragment the West Bank, through both calls for annexation and ongoing spread of settlements in its occupied territories,” El-Sisi said.
The two sides stressed the importance of efforts to preserve peace that has existed in the region since the 1970s.
