According to a statement by the Egyptian foreign ministry, the discussions confirmed a shared vision between the two countries that the immediate step needed to stop the current escalation in the region is reaching a ceasefire in the Gaza war and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in the strip.

This must be followed by addressing the root cause of the crisis in the region through steps to establish an independent Palestinian state, added the statement.

Abdelatty emphasized to Safadi Cairo's belief that the current regional instability and increased risks of a broader conflict could lead to catastrophic consequences.

The two top diplomats reaffirmed that this instability is a direct result of the negative impacts of the ongoing war in Gaza and the international community's failure to pressure Israel to halt its aggression against the Palestinian people.
