Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan reaffirm strong alignment to end regional crises
Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held a meeting with his Qatari, Saudi, and Jordanian counterparts, during which they expressed a strong alignment in their visions and a unified position to pursue political and diplomatic solutions to the ongoing regional crises.
The meeting on Monday took place on the sidelines of the "High-Level International Conference on Peaceful Resolution of the Question of Palestine and Implementation of the Two-State Solution," held at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
A Foreign Ministry statement said Abdelatty exchanged views with his Arab counterparts on the latest developments in the Gaza Strip, as well as joint Egyptian-Qatari efforts with the United States to resume the ceasefire, secure the release of captives and detainees, prevent further bloodshed among the Palestinian people, and ensure the urgent and unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
The ministers also discussed the following steps to implement the Arab-Islamic plan for early recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, including preparations for the upcoming Cairo International Conference on Reconstruction, in cooperation with the Palestinian government and the United Nations.
The statement further noted that the ministers agreed to continue consultations and coordination among themselves to advance mutual interests and support regional security and stability.
Earlier in the day, FM Abdelatty delivered a speech at the conference highlighting its success in mobilizing a broad international consensus in support of an independent Palestinian state.
Egypt's top diplomat praised the 'courageous' declaration by French President Emmanuel Macron to recognize the State of Palestine.
He also held meetings with The Elders, a group founded by the late South African leader Nelson Mandela to promote peace worldwide.
