Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi will discuss the country's "current international politics" Sunday at 7 p.m. local time (5 p.m. GMT), a source close to the presidency told Al-Ahram Arabic news website.

Sisi's expected speech will come after less than a week since Egypt launched air strikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group in neighboring Libya.

The air strikes came after ISIS claimed the beheading of 21 Coptic Egyptians.

Since then, Egypt has been evacuating its citizens from Libya. About 800,000 to 900, 000 Egyptians have left Libya so far.

Western powers including the United States and United Kingdom have ruled out military intervention in Libya and urged for a political solution; however, Egypt has been calling for an international coalition to defeat ISIS in its Arab neighbor.
