status, and continued: "without any boasting or obfuscation.. Egypt is a very strong and

untouchable country".

The Egyptian President pointed out that Egypt is keen to ease the crisis through the release

of hostages and prisoners in Gaza, and President Sisi stressed Cairo's keenness to play a

positive role in the Palestinian cause .

"Egypt is making great efforts to calm the fighting and release the detainees in Gaza,"he

 said.

He also stressed that Egypt is making a great effort to bring humanitarian aid in full to the

Gaza Strip, thanking all the countries that provided assistance.

"Egypt appreciates the UN General Assembly resolution calling for a cessation of hostilities

 and the imposition of a humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip,"he said.

He stressed that it has been repeatedly warned that the expansion of the conflict is not in

 the interest of the region, pointing out that the Taba and Nubia incidents are proof that the

 escalation in Gaza has effects on the region.

He explained that in this case the area will be a ticking time bomb that will cause harm to

everyone.

He stressed that Egypt's foreign policy is not based on treachery and conspiracy and are

state of anger and impulsiveness in reaction may lead to regret if things get out of control".

 which affected the Nuweiba and Taba areas, on the border with Israel.

"By analyzing and collecting information, the results of the investigations have resulted that

 a number of (2) unmanned guided aircraft were heading from the south of the Red Sea to
