Egypt called Thursday for intensified international efforts to create the conditions needed to complete the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan and move forward with its second phase, stressing the importance of sustaining momentum toward a broader resolution.
The call came during a meeting in Cairo between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and European Union envoy for the Middle East Christophe Bigot.
Abdelatty affirmed the importance of "refocusing international efforts on the Palestinian issue to create conditions for the full implementation of the first phase of the plan and moving to its second phase," the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"This requires ensuring the sustainable flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza and creating the necessary conditions for early recovery and reconstruction,” he added.
The ministry said talks between Abdelatty and Bigot took up the ongoing efforts to enable the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to carry out its duties from inside the enclave.
