(MENAFN) Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi emphasized the critical need for deploying international forces in Gaza, according to a statement from the Egyptian Presidency on Saturday.

During a phone call with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, al-Sisi thoroughly discussed the recent Gaza ceasefire agreement, underscoring the urgency of its full implementation and calling for a legitimate international framework via the UN Security Council to uphold the deal.

The statement added that al-Sisi invited Christodoulides to attend the signing ceremony of the agreement in Egypt.

Christodoulides expressed his support for the ceasefire and commended Egypt’s pivotal role, stating his backing for the deal’s execution.
