Prime Minister Dr Moustafa Madbouly said on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, that the messages delivered by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi during a series of meetings held on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in the French city of Évian were strong and clear. They stressed the need to maintain the priority of the Palestinian cause, implement the second phase of the agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip, and highlighted Egypt’s efforts in this regard in coordination with the United States and mediators.
The president also emphasized that achieving stability in the region requires all parties to adopt a responsible approach based on respect for the sovereignty of states, rejection of any aggression or interference in their internal affairs, ending occupation, adherence to the rules of international law, preserving national state institutions, and ensuring that weapons remain solely in the hands of legitimate state institutions.
Madbouly made these remarks while chairing the government’s weekly meeting on Wednesday at its headquarters in the New Administrative Capital. During the meeting, he reviewed the President’s key activities over the past few days, topped by his participation in the G7 Summit in Évian, France.
The summit was attended by the leaders of the group’s member states, as well as several invited countries, including Egypt, which participated as a partner nation. The premier noted that the President’s participation included numerous meetings and important sessions on the sidelines of the summit, during which several strong messages were conveyed regarding Egypt’s position on the current crises in the region.
President El-Sisi met with the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Council, and the German Chancellor. He also attended an important session entitled "Navigating Crises and Sustaining Stability in the Middle East". Madbouly stated that among the President’s key messages was Egypt’s readiness to exert every effort, in cooperation with regional and international partners, to reach sustainable solutions to unresolved issues.
Egypt also hopes that the framework agreement reached between Iran and the United States will mark a new phase characterized by conflict resolution and reduced regional tensions, the premier noted. The President reiterated Egypt’s complete rejection and condemnation of unjustified attacks against the Gulf Arab states, affirming Egypt’s full solidarity with and support for these countries in preserving their security and stability.
