- Badr Abdelatty tells Steve Witkoff political settlement vital
- Global community must prioritize welfare of Palestinians
LONDON: Egypt鈥檚 Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has called for an immediate cessation of Israel鈥檚 aggression on the Gaza Strip during a phone call received from Steve Witkoff, the US president鈥檚 special envoy to the Middle East.
Abdelatty said the international community must prioritize the welfare of suffering Palestinians and called for the unfettered delivery of aid to the enclave.
He emphasized that only a political settlement could ensure a just and lasting solution to Israel鈥檚 occupation of Palestinian land.
And this would align with President Donald Trump鈥檚 vision for sustainable peace in the Middle East, the Emirates News Agency reported on Sunday.
Abdelatty was a member of the ministerial committee designated by the Joint Extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit on Gaza, which Israel prevented from visiting the occupied West Bank on Sunday to meet with Palestinian officials in Ramallah.
Arab ministers from 黑料社区, Bahrain, Jordan and Egypt, and the secretary-general of the Arab League, condemned what they described as the 鈥渁rrogant鈥� decision by Israel to block their visit and its rejection of any peace efforts.
