Sisi: Peace with Israel is 'stable and permanent'

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Sunday hailed the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel as “stable and permanent.”

“When Sadat raised his idea of peace, no one thought that this idea would be acceptable to the general opinion,” the Egyptian president said at the World Youth forum in Sharm el-Sheikh in the Sinai Peninsula, referring to former Egyptian President Anwar Sadat who signed the peace treaty in 1979 with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
