The head of the Transport and Communications Committee in the House of Representatives stressed that Egypt has been and continues to play a decisive and responsible role in supporting peace and stability efforts in the Middle East, and will not allow any attempt to influence the course of these efforts or use its name to cover the internal political goals of another country.

"Abed" concluded by stressing Egypt’s commitment to its firm position in supporting the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people in their struggle for their legitimate rights, and its continued playing of its historical role as an honest and influential mediator in the region.
