During the National Front Party Conference in Giza, MP Mohamed Abou El-Enein, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and Vice President of the National Front Party, delivered a powerful speech affirming Egypt’s historic and steadfast role as the faithful guardian of the Palestinian cause, the cause of all causes.
Abou El-Enein opened his remarks by declaring: “Egypt’s position is clear. Egypt has sacrificed more than 120,000 martyrs and suffered tens of billions in losses — both direct and indirect — for the sake of the Palestinian cause. Today, Egypt bears over one billion dollars a month in losses to the Suez Canal alone, and it has fought wars that cost it dearly in defense of this just cause.”
He then praised President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s leadership and active diplomacy in efforts to end the aggression on Gaza and to break the famine afflicting its people, emphasizing how El-Sisi’s recent speech transformed the global narrative.
“Yesterday, President Trump claimed there was no famine in Gaza,” Abou El-Enein said. “But today, after President El-Sisi’s heartfelt appeal calling for peace, humanitarian access, and an end to the war, Trump publicly acknowledged the famine and held Israel responsible for the suffering of the Palestinian people. This shows the world’s responsiveness to President El-Sisi’s call.”
The Deputy Speaker continued: “Let everyone know what Egypt has done. Since October 7, Egypt has never closed the Rafah crossing — it was Israel that destroyed it from the Palestinian side. The people of Gaza have been left without water, food, or medicine. Yet, Egypt remains steadfast — it placed the Palestinian cause before the eyes of the world and reaffirmed the principle of a two-state solution, rejecting any attempts at liquidation or displacement.”
Abou El-Enein also emphasized the deep-rooted popular solidarity of Egyptians with Palestine, saying: “Every household in Egypt is ready to send its food and drink to our brothers in Palestine. Egypt knows its role and fulfills it through actions, not words. And to those who trade in the cause, I say: what have you offered besides lies and distortion?”
Expressing his relief that Egyptian aid has begun to enter Gaza, he said: “Thank God, the crossing has been reopened, and humanitarian aid is now entering the Strip — a result of Egypt’s tireless efforts, supported by its Parliament and media.”
He went on to stress Egypt’s status as a pillar of regional stability and balance of power, asserting that without Egypt’s strength, the Palestinian cause would have been lost, and forced displacement would have taken place.
Abou El-Enein concluded his speech by paying tribute to Egypt’s Armed Forces, police, and intelligence services for their vigilance and sacrifices, invoking President El-Sisi’s historic words: “In Libya, El-Sisi said Sirte is a red line. And today, regarding Gaza, he declares displacement is a red line. No one dares cross it. This is your leader — this is Egypt’s President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.”
