STORYLINE:

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi said Wednesday that Cairo is committed to the full implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement recently reached between Israel and Hamas.

"We are absolutely committed to working diligently toward the full implementation of this agreement to end the bloodshed of our Palestinian brothers and sisters and restore essential services to the Gaza Strip to make it habitable," Sisi said in a televised speech marking the 73rd Egyptian Police Day celebrations.

The president stressed Egypt's categorical rejection of "any attempts" to displace the Palestinian people from their lands.

Last week, after more than 15 months of fighting, Israel and Hamas reached a three-stage ceasefire deal mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States.

The initial, six-week stage of the truce deal, which took effect Sunday, includes the release of Israeli captives from Gaza and of Palestinians from Israeli prisons. This first stage also entails increased humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza and partial withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave.
