NEW YORK: Egypt’s foreign minister on Thursday laid out a “clear,” comprehensive Arab and Muslim vision to end the conflict in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire followed by coordinated reconstruction and governance efforts.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Badr Abdelatty emphasized the urgent need to halt Israeli military operations and begin rebuilding.
“The first step … is, of course, ending this unjust war. This is extremely important to stop the Israeli aggression,” he told Arab News.
Following a ceasefire, Abdelatty stressed the need “to move ahead with issues related to security arrangements, as well as the governance of Gaza.”
He added: “We in Egypt, in cooperation with Jordan, are providing training to Palestinians to be part of the security force to be deployed in Gaza, in full coordination with the Palestinian Authority.”
