OPEN// PM affirms strength of Egypt-Saudi Arabia relations
NEW ALAMEIN, July 23 (MENA) - Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli reiterated the strength of relations between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, noting that this strength is among the core pillars of Egyptian foreign policy and reflects the shared vision of the political leaderships in both countries. The relationship between Egypt and Saudi Arabia is strategic, fraternal and based on unity, Madbouli told a press conference following the weekly Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. The prime minister noted that Egypt and Saudi Arabia have many common issues and face similar challenges, highlighting the importance of maintaining both countries' shared perspective on how to deal with challenges confronting the Arab and Islamic worlds. He also underscored the exceptional relationship between the two countries' political leaderships, which reflects communication between the two governments. Egyptian citizens are well aware of this strong bond, Madbouli said, stressing that any attempt to stir tensions between the two countries will not be tolerated. In this regard, the prime minister made clear that some social media platforms operating from outside both Egypt and Saudi Arabia are trying to falsely portray a state of tension between the two countries, stressing that Egypt will not allow these brotherly relations to be negatively affected. He warned that "certain parties may have an interest in stirring tensions between the two countries but we will not permit that'. (MENA) I S N/S R E

OPEN// PM says Rafah border crossing has never been closed from the Egyptian side
NEW ALAMEIN, July 23 (MENA) - Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli stressed that the Rafah border crossing has never been closed from the Egyptian side. During the times when the Palestinian side maintained control over the crossing, all humanitarian and relief aid continued to flow into the Gaza Strip, Madbouli said at a press conference following the Cabinet's weekly meeting in New Alamein city. In fact, 80% of the humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza from the start of the conflict until now has come from the Egyptian government and Egyptian civil society, he noted. Despite efforts exerted by countries that have with far greater resources than Egypt, Egypt remains the largest contributor of aid to Gaza, the premier said. Egypt, he added, has not stopped receiving and sheltering wounded Palestinians and their families, who have been welcomed as honored guests and brothers on Egyptian soil. Since the outbreak of the conflict on October 7, 2023, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi clearly stated that Egypt completely rejects any attempt to liquidate the Palestinian cause or forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza. He stressed that Egypt was the first country to make such a stand, highlighting the bilateral meetings held by President Sisi with European leaders and officials from around the world during which he reaffirmed Egypt's consistent and principled stance in this regard. Madbouli said Egypt has been engaged from day one in mediation efforts to achieve a ceasefire. "We succeeded in brokering the first ceasefire agreement in partnership with Qatar and the United States. Egypt has never stopped its mediation efforts and continues to push for de-escalation in hopes of ending the conflict.' He added that Egypt has also taken the lead in efforts to reconstruct Gaza, recalling the summit held in Egypt in March this year, where Cairo presented its comprehensive Gaza reconstruction plan. 'That plan was adopted by Arab and Islamic countries and has become a joint Arab-Islamic initiative,' he said, noting that Germany also reiterated its full support for Egypt in implementing the plan. At the end, Madbouli stressed that Egypt is exerting relentless efforts to deliver as much aid as possible to the Palestinians in Gaza. (MENA) S R E
