Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid responded to a statement made by Egyptian President El-Sisi, according to which other Middle Eastern countries should strive towards a peace deal with Israel.
“I applaud the statement made today by the Egyptian President. El-Sisi’s statement proves that there is currently a chance to further a regional agreement together with other moderate Arab nations,” Lapid said. “Our joint interests in the region, the war on terror, creates a chance to further a regional deal, as I presented last week during my speech at Bar Ilan University.”
