Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, in speeches marking the anniversaries of June 30 and July 23, highlighted Egypt's progress since 2013 and emphasized the country's ongoing development efforts. He underscored the importance of national unity, resilience, and rejection of division and despair amid heavy challenges. El-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to peace in the Middle East, stating that peace is achievable only through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. He cited the Egyptian-Israeli peace experience of the 1970s, brokered by the United States, as evidence that peace is possible when intentions are sincere. Additionally, he praised Egypt's role as a stable and humanitarian refuge in the region and highlighted national projects such as the "Decent Life" initiative aimed at improving living conditions for 60 million citizens. El-Sisi also paid tribute to the leaders of the July 23 revolution and the Egyptian military for their role in combating terrorism and advancing national development.
