Sisi reaffirms Sinai sovereignty, calls peace treaty a governing framework with Israel

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt has no territorial ambitions and reclaimed all its land, responding to Israeli officials' comments on Sinai.

• Sisi spoke Wednesday at the Egyptian armed forces' 44th symposium marking the 53rd anniversary of the October War at the New Administrative Capital.
• Sisi said the Egypt-Israel peace treaty is a governing framework for relations and that Egypt harbors no aspirations toward anyone.
• Sisi said Israel's concerns over Egyptian ambitions were unjustified, noting Egypt fought to defend its land and recovered all its territory.
• Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich previously said "if Egypt attacks us there will be no Sinai" and rejected returning to pre-war lines.
