CAIRO – 18 March 2025: Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received a phone call on Tuesday from King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa to discuss regional developments and the ongoing escalation in the Gaza Strip.
President El- Sisi and King Hamad condemned the airstrikes on the strip, which have resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties, in a blatant violation of international law, according to Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy.
The two leaders emphasized the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire and called on the international community to fulfill its responsibility in protecting the innocent people of Gaza from the brutal aggression they are facing.
President El-Sisi and the King of Bahrain reiterated the importance of fully adhering to the decisions of the recent Extraordinary Arab summit hosted in Cairo, particularly the Arab plan for the reconstruction of Gaza.
Both sides stressed their total rejection of any actions or decisions that would lead to the displacement of Palestinians from their lands. They pointed out that the establishment of the Palestinian state along the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is the only guarantee for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
The call highlighted the strong and solid ties between Egypt and Bahrain, as well as the two brotherly countries' commitment to enhancing cooperation in all fields and continuing close coordination on regional issues.

Thunberg accuses Israel of kidnap after Gaza aid boat intercepted - War on Gaza
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg on Tuesday accused Israel of "kidnapping us in international waters and taking us against our will to Israel" after security forces intercepted a boat carrying humanitarian aid bound for Gaza. "This is yet another intentional violation of rights that is added to the list of countless other violations that Israel is committing," Thunberg, 22, told reporters on arrival at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris after being deported from Israel. She stressed that her own experience was "nothing compared to what the Palestinians are going through". Of the 12 people on board the Madleen carrying food and supplies for Gaza, five French activists were taken into custody after they refused to leave Israel voluntarily. But Thunberg, who rose to fame as a schoolgirl activist against climate change and seeks to avoid flying because of its environmental impact, was deported by Israel on a commercial flight of national airline El Al bound for Paris. "This is not the real story. The real story is there is a genocide going on in Gaza and systematic starvation," said Thunberg. Several rights groups including Amnesty International have accused Israel of genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. The vessel carrying French, German, Brazilian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish and Dutch activists had the stated aim of delivering humanitarian aid and breaking the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian territory. Israel intercepted the Madleen about 185 kilometres (115 miles) west of the coast of Gaza. Thunberg said what happened to the vessel was a "continuation and violation of international law and war crimes that are being systematically committed by Israel by not letting aid in" to Gaza. "This was a mission of attempting to once again bring aid to Gaza and send solidarity. And saw we cannot," she said. She also denounced what she termed the "silence and passivity" of governments worldwide over what was taking place in Gaza. "There are no words to describe the betrayal that is happening every day by our own governments," she said. Admitting she was "desperately in need of a shower", Thunberg vowed to carry on her campaign. "We will not stop. We will try every single day to demand an end to the atrocities Israel is carrying out". At least 54,981 people, the majority women and children, have been killed in the territory since the start of Israel's war. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
