Egypt: We will protect Saudi Arabia

Sisi spoke at the graduation ceremony of students of the Egyptian Military Academy in the east of the capital Cairo.

Saying that Egypt and Saudi Arabia are the heart of the Arab and Islamic world, Sisi emphasized that Cairo will not accept any threat to Saudi Arabia's security and borders.

Sisi said, "We will take every step to protect Saudi Arabia, and I will invite the Parliament to an emergency session to give authority if requested." he said.

The Egyptian President stated that they are ready to take any steps requested by the Riyadh administration and to defend Saudi Arabia, in line with the directives of Saudi Arabian King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Sisi thanked the support given by the Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia, during the period Egypt faced in 2013, and said, "It is true that the national security of Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries are interconnected." he said.

"My term ends in 2030"

Confirming that there will be no changes to the Egyptian Constitution, Sisi said, "My term as president will end in 2030. This is a finalized issue." he said.

With these words, Sisi responded to claims on social media that the Constitution could be amended in 2027, giving him the right to run for president for a new term.

Under the current Constitution, Sisi cannot run for president again after 2030, when his third term ends.
