MP: Sisi’s Stance on Egypt’s Water Rights Reflects State Principles

Egyptian lawmaker Mohamed Beltagy said President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s reaffirmation of Egypt’s water rights reflects the state’s established principles on the Nile water issue.

Beltagy, a member of the House of Representatives’ Economic Affairs Committee, made the remarks in response to the president’s emphasis on Egypt’s longstanding position.

The MP framed Sisi’s message as an affirmation of continuity in the country’s approach to its water rights, rather than a change in policy.

His comments focused on the link between the president’s assurances and the principles underpinning Egypt’s position on Nile waters.
