Shoukry Calls for Political Solution Guarantees Establishment of Palestinian State

Shoukry questioned the international community's consistency in applying fair standards to the Palestinian people in light of the situation in Gaza

Following his meetings with diplomats from Jordan and France, Egypt's Shoukry held a press conference where he raised questions about the international community's consistency in applying fair standards when dealing with issues regarding the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza.

Shoukry reiterated Egypt's stance on rejecting the displacement of Palestinians from their lands and urged the international community to take responsibility to prevent a famine in Gaza. He emphasized the need for a political solution that guarantees the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the two-state solution.

In turn, FM Séjourné from France opposed any military action in Rafah and called for a ceasefire in line with the Security Council's resolution. He stressed that the two-state solution is the key to a permanent and comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian issue.

Also, FM Safadi from Jordan urged the international community to take action to stop Israeli violations in Gaza. He emphasized that Israel must face the consequences of its actions and called on the Security Council to take action towards a ceasefire in Gaza. He also called for Israel to allow aid to enter immediately by opening all crossings and emphasized the need to hold Israel accountable for any violations of international resolutions.

Safadi concluded by stating that the Palestinian people have the right to freedom and to establish their independent state. He rejected the use of starvation as a war tool in Gaza and emphasized that Israel must face the consequences of its actions.
