Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi recognized Jimmy Carter’s key role in brokering the 1978 Camp David Accords in remarks posted on X late Sunday night, shortly after the announcement of the former U.S. president’s death at the age of 100.

“In this sorrowful moment, I offer my heartfelt condolences to the family of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, as well as to the president and people of the United States of America. President Carter was a symbol of humanitarian and diplomatic efforts, and his unwavering belief in peace and justice inspired many individuals and organizations worldwide to follow his example,” al-Sisi wrote in Arabic.

He continued, “His key role in securing the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel will remain forever etched in history. His humanitarian work represents a shining example of love, peace and brotherhood, ensuring that his memory endures as one of the world’s most generous leaders for humanity.”

Al-Sisi concluded with, “May God have mercy on former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.”
