CAIRO, September 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi announced on Monday the preparation of comprehensive early recovery and Gaza reconstruction plan.
Addressing the Virtual BRICS Summit, held at the invitation of Brazil, el-Sisi stated: “Egypt has prepared a comprehensive plan for early recovery and reconstruction of Gaza, which has received Arab and Islamic approval and broad support from international partners. This plan has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that rebuilding the Strip is possible, while Palestinians remain in their land.”
“Egypt also intends, immediately upon a ceasefire agreement is reached, to host an international conference for the reconstruction of Gaza, in cooperation with the Palestinian Authority and the United Nations, to mobilize the necessary support and funding to implement this ambitious plan,” he added.
Commenting on Israel’s unrelenting genocidal aggression on Gaza, which killed 64,522 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured at least 163,096 others, President el-Sisi said: “Israel has been committing the most heinous forms of killing and terror, using starvation and denial of health services as a weapon against civilians. This has led to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, to the point where the United Nations has declared a state of famine in the Gaza Strip.”
He added that Israel has “continued to expand its military operations to destroy the foundations of life, with the aims of forcing Palestinians to leave their land, implementing a plan for forced displacement, and liquidating their just cause.”
He reiterated Egypt's “unwavering position that categorically rejects any scenario aimed at displacing Palestinians from their land, under any pretext, as it signifies an attempt to liquidate the Palestinian cause, suppress the two-state solution, expand the scale of the conflict, and jeopardize the peace process in the Middle East.”
He also reiterated Cairo’s “condemnation and complete rejection of attempts to impose Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank” and new colonial construction plans “with the aim of changing the legal and demographic status of the occupied Palestinian territories and imposing a fait accompli that undermines the Palestinian people's right to establish their independent state.”
He called upon BRICS Member States to “support ongoing efforts to revive the two-state solution and recognize the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state, along the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, therefore consolidating peace and stability in the Middle East and the world at large, in a just and sustainable manner.”
