In a significant diplomatic exchange, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry engaged with his Japanese counterpart, Yoko Kamikawa, to deliberate on the escalating tensions in Gaza.
Spokesperson Ahmed Abu Zeid revealed that the conversation, which occurred on November 14, saw Minister Shoukry firmly reject any form of Palestinian displacement.
He emphasized Egypt's humanitarian and legal obligations to halt Israeli offenses against Palestinian civilians, advocating for clear international stances against these severe human rights infringements.
Minister Shoukry highlighted the disparity in global reactions to human rights violations, particularly the international community's unwillingness to condemn Israel's actions in Palestine compared to other armed conflicts.
The conversation also addressed the importance of uninterrupted humanitarian assistance to Gaza and the necessity of concerted international efforts to prevent the spread of violence and conflict in the region.
The dialogue further explored bilateral relations, with both ministers recognizing Japan's vital role internationally and affirming continued collaboration and coordination between Egypt and Japan.
