The Foreign Ministry statement expressed Egypt's aspiration to cooperate with the US administration, led by President Trump, to achieve a comprehensive and just peace in the region by reaching a fair settlement of the Palestinian cause that upholds the rights of the region’s peoples.

“In this context, the Arab Republic of Egypt emphasizes that any vision for resolving the Palestinian cause must take into account the need to avoid endangering the gains of peace in the region while simultaneously addressing the root causes of the conflict by ending the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and implementing the two-state solution as the only path to stability,” the statement concluded.

The official Egyptian statement comes hours following King Abdullah II of Jordan’s meeting with US President Donald Trump, where the Jordanian King said that “Egypt would present a plan on working with the United States over Washington's Gaza takeover proposal.”

Earlier on Tuesday, Egyptian sources have revealed to Saudi channel Al-Arabiya that Cairo has sent multiple responses in recent days to Trump's proposed plan on Gaza.

They confirmed that Egypt's stance on the Gaza file remains unchanged: The categorical rejection of any plan involving the displacement of Palestinians from the strip.
