Badr Abdelatty, Egypt's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Migration, emphasized that "the two-state solution is essential to preventing further waves of violence and achieving a just and lasting peace."
Speaking at a joint press conference with his Nigerian counterpart in Cairo, Abdel Aty affirmed Egypt's commitment to coordinating relief efforts to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
He stressed the importance of maintaining the ceasefire in the region.
Abdelatty noted, "The Egyptian-Qatari coordination has been at the highest level, and without it, reaching the Gaza ceasefire agreement would not have been possible."
Egypt, along with Qatar and the United States, successfully brokered an agreement between Israeli forces and Palestinian factions to establish a ceasefire in Gaza.
The first phase of the agreement is set to begin on Sunday, lasting 42 days.
It includes a ceasefire, the withdrawal and repositioning of Israeli forces outside densely populated areas, the exchange of hostages and detainees, the return of displaced residents to their homes in Gaza, and the facilitation of medical evacuations.
Additionally, the agreement ensures the large-scale, safe, and effective delivery of humanitarian aid across Gaza, according to an official statement by the mediators.
