Palestinian cause remains core issue of Egypt: spokesman

CAIRO, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian Presidential spokesman Bassam Rady stressed on Saturday that the Palestinian cause remains the core issue of Egypt and the Arab world.

Egypt made a firm stance at the United Nations and the UN General Assembly that it would continue its historic role in serving the Palestinian cause, Rady said in an interview with Sout El Arab Radio.

Rady hailed the leading role of his country in the Arab world and the achievement Egypt has made at the Arab world since incumbent President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi took office in 2014.

Sisi took office in 2014 after the military ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013 following mass protests over his one-year rule.
