Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has said it is vital to re-establish the ceasefire in Gaza and facilitate the immediate delivery of aid into the territory as well as the release of Israeli captives held there, Al Jazeera reports.

“We also agreed that any calls for forcibly transferring the Palestinians out of their homeland is unacceptable,” el-Sisi added during a joint news conference with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, in Cairo.

He said the two leaders discussed a Gaza reconstruction conference to be held in Egypt.

“I unequivocally emphasise that establishing lasting and permanent peace will remain far-fetched so long as the Palestinian cause remains unresolved and so long as the Palestinian people continue to face the consequences of ferocious wars that will deprive the current and future generations of the right to a stable and secure future,” he said.
