CAIRO – 17 April 2025: President of the National Assembly of Slovenia Urška Klakočar Zupančič reiterated her country's rejection of the displacement of Palestinian people from their lands as she discussed the situation in Gaza with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Thursday.
The Egyptian president highlighted to the visiting Slovenian official the Egyptian efforts to revive the ceasefire in Gaza and exchange captives and prisoners, while ensuring adequate aid deliveries to save the enclave from the current humanitarian crisis.
The Slovenian speaker affirmed her country's support for the Egyptian position.
Sisi praised Slovenia's support for the rights of the Palestinian people, embodied in the nation's recognition of the Palestinian state.
The president stressed that the establishment of a Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is the only guarantee for achieving lasting peace and stability in the region.
Zupančič praised Egypt's pivotal role in achieving peace and stability in the Middle East.
Egypt, alongside Qatar, has intensified its efforts to revive ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas and end the prolonged war in Gaza, which has so far killed over 51,000 people, predominantly women and children.
Egypt is also leading an Arab initiative for the early recovery and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by over 18 months of war, while ensuring that residents can remain on their land.

UN Member States to Adopt Voluntary Political Declaration to Solve Marine Crisis
Rana Atef More than 2,000 scientists and advocates from at least 100 countries participated in the One Ocean Science Congress, dedicated to the increasing marine crisis. 'The ocean is suffering at the cause of humanity,' said the Mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, who spoke at the opening ceremony on Tuesday. She added, 'Either we save our oceans or the entire race will pay.' Rising sea temperatures due to global warming, ocean acidification, plastic pollution, and offshore oil and gas developments are some of the threats plaguing the ocean. 'Sound research shows global human health is intrinsically linked to a healthy ocean,' said Peter Thomson, the United Nations secretary-general's special envoy for the ocean. The ocean greatly contributes to producing more than half of the oxygen humans breathe, in addition to balancing Earth temperatures by absorbing excess heat and carbon dioxide. 3 billion people depend on the ocean for their daily activities, according to the United Nations. But, at the congress's opening ceremony, Thomson said, 'the ocean's health is currently, measurably in decline.' Now is the time to chart a new future for the ocean, he said. 'Faith has been placed upon this congress to serve as the scientific pillar of the U.N. Ocean Conference,' said Thomson. He added: 'We're expecting that the scientifically compiled conclusions of this congress will inform the leaders and the representatives of governments and civil society who will be attending the conference.' By the end of the oceans summit, U.N. member states intend to adopt a voluntary political declaration that will promote the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources called 'Our Ocean, Our Future: United for Urgent Action.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
