In his latest interview with Sherif Amer on MBC Masr, Dr. Moustafa Elfeki, Director of the Library of Alexandria, said that Egypt has a historical obligation towards the Palestinian cause, noting that Cairo is highly committed to the principles of this cause, no matter how the political events may unfold.
He asserted that the Egyptian commitment to the Palestinian cause is unique and different from the approach adopted by other Arab countries, highlighting the fact that Cairo only seeks to alleviate the sufferings endured by Palestinians.
Furthermore, Elfeki maintained that Egypt had employed its relations with countries around the world, including Israel, to serve the Palestinian cause, and said “We support peace and the process of normalization with Israel as long as there is respect for the Palestinian fundamental principles”. He also pointed out that the regional and international circumstances have now changed, particularly with the formation of a new American administration, under the leadership of Joe Biden.
