Sisi urges full implementation of Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement, calls for consolidation of Gaza Ceasefire

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has underscored the need for the full implementation of the Sharm El-Sheikh Agreement aimed at ending the war in Gaza, emphasising the importance of maintaining the ceasefire and ensuring the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave.

During a meeting in Cairo on Monday with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu, Sisi called for intensified international efforts to stabilise the situation in Gaza, reiterating Egypt’s commitment to mediation and humanitarian coordination.

The two officials discussed Middle East developments, stressing that the two-state solution—based on international law and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state—remains the only path to achieving lasting peace and regional stability.

Shoigu praised Egypt’s diplomatic role and reaffirmed Russia’s readiness to continue coordination with Cairo in support of regional stability and ceasefire efforts.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) accused Israel of committing “systematic and repeated violations” of the Sharm El-Sheikh ceasefire, a month after its implementation began. In a statement issued Monday evening, Hamas said it remained fully committed to the agreement and its humanitarian obligations, while holding Israel responsible for the violations that threaten to collapse the deal.

Hamas also urged mediators and international actors to pressure Israel to stop its attacks, lift the blockade, and ensure the safe entry of aid and protection of civilians in the Gaza Strip.
