Egypt’s president: Any harm to Egypt or Saudi Arabia affects both

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has emphasized that any harm to Egypt or Saudi Arabia will affect the other, stressing that Egypt will not tolerate any threat to the security of Saudi Arabia. He added that targeting the Kingdom impacts both Arab and Egyptian national security.

Speaking at the Police Academy’s 2026 graduation ceremony, held at the academy’s headquarters in New Cairo, El-Sisi said, “Egypt and Saudi Arabia are at the heart of the Arab and Islamic worlds,” noting the truth of the saying that the national security of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states is interconnected.

The Egyptian president reiterated Cairo’s rejection of any threat to the security of the Red Sea and international maritime passages, stressing that Egypt’s priority is “the security and stability of the Kingdom, and de-escalation in the region.”
