Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The head of the Iraqi National Wisdom Movement, Ammar Al-Hakim, discussed on Tuesday the situation in the region and the war in Gaza with the Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
Both parties affirmed that, in order to protect civilians and achieve a truce in Gaza, the international community must accept its obligations, according to a statement issued by the Egyptian Presidency.
The two sides reviewed Egypt’s substantial efforts to secure a ceasefire and guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza to lessen the extreme humanitarian suffering of the Palestinian people.
El-Sisi and Al-Hakim both stressed the significance of achieving a fair and comprehensive resolution for the Palestinian issue, warning about the seriousness of the current escalation and its effects on regional stability.
Al-Hakim emphasized Egypt’s critical role in preserving the security and stability of the Arab region, highlighting the deep ties between the two countries. He also commended Cairo’s support of Arab and Islamic countries as well as its assistance for Iraq.
In response to a drone strike on a facility in Jordan on January 28 that claimed the lives of three US soldiers, the US military struck around 85 sites in Syria and Iraq earlier this month.
Israel has been waging an aggressive and relentless war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, where attacks have been carried out during the night and early morning hours.
Israel caused almost 70,000 injuries, over 1.9 million displacements, and at least 29,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza.
