Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held talks on Friday with Christophe Bertaud, the European Union’s Special Representative for the Middle East Peace Process, to discuss developments regarding the Palestinian issue and efforts aimed at consolidating the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a press release that the meeting took place between Abdelatty and Bertaud on the sidelines of the Sir Bani Yas Forum in the United Arab Emirates. The two sides discussed the implementation of the second phase of the comprehensive plan to end the conflict, which includes empowering the National Administration of Gaza, implementing security arrangements, and the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces.
The statement highlighted that the Egyptian Foreign Minister emphasized the importance of the European role in ensuring that the Israeli occupation adheres to its commitments and guarantees the unhindered entry of humanitarian aid, shelter supplies, and early recovery materials into the Gaza Strip.
He also noted that the meeting addressed the situation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, where Abdelatty stressed the need to halt the escalation carried out by the occupation and to support the Palestinian Authority and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
In this regard, he reaffirmed the importance of enhancing Egyptian-European coordination to revitalize the political process leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
