Kuwait City: Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Dr. Bader Abdelati expressed Egypt's aspiration to enhance coordination with the US administration to work toward achieving the desired just peace in the Middle East.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Immigration stated that this development came during a phone call between Abdelati and US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff. This is part of the ongoing consultation and coordination between Egypt and the US on various issues of mutual interest, particularly the situation in the Gaza Strip.
The statement further noted that the call addressed joint efforts undertaken by Egypt, the US, and Qatar to consolidate the ceasefire agreement in Gaza. The focus is on ensuring the start of the second phase, achieving calm, and de-escalating the situation.
The Egyptian official emphasized the necessity of allowing humanitarian, medical, and shelter aid to reach Gaza to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. Additionally, he highlighted the importance of establishing a political horizon that would lead to a final settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, ensuring the creation of an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
