President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Tuesday there is now a "real opportunity" for an Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement that would also lead to warmer ties between Egypt and the Zionist entity.

In a live televised speech also addressed to the Palestinians and Israelis, Sisi urged them to draw hope from the "real and stable peace" between "Israel" and Egypt.

"There is an Arab initiative, there is currently a French initiative, and there are American efforts" to broker an Israeli-Palestinian settlement, he said.
