Egyptian President Abdul Fatah Sisi, who attended an emergency summit of Arab-Islamic countries in Doha, called Israel "enemy" for the first time since Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel 46 years ago.
In a speech on September 15, he called for unity between Arab and Islamic countries, saying: "Our position must change the enemy's view of us and let them understand that any Arab country extends from the ocean to the Gulf region."
According to the report, the director of the Egyptian News Agency, Diau Rashvan, stressed that this was the first time since the visit of Egyptian President Sadat to Jerusalem in 1977, that Egyptian heads of state used the word "enemy" to describe Israel.
Later on the 15th, in an interview with Egypt’s Extra News television station, Rashvan stressed, “Friends will not threaten your national security.” he said the Egyptian side saw forcing Palestinians to leave Gaza as a “red line.”
According to the report, the Arab-Islamic State Emergency Summit issued a communiqué condemning the Israeli attack on Qatar, which targeted the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), killing at least six people, including a Qatari security official, and wounding 18 others.
During the Israeli conflict, Egypt and Qatar played the role of mediators.
