Abdelatty made the remarks during talks in Amman with Ayman Safadi, Jordan’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister, as part of a regional tour aimed at coordinating Arab responses to escalating tensions.
The two ministers discussed the risks posed by the growing military escalation across the region and stressed the need for diplomatic efforts and stronger Arab coordination to prevent the conflict from widening.
They also condemned Iranian attacks targeting Jordan and Gulf Arab states as violations of international law and the United Nations (UN) Charter. Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt’s solidarity with Jordan following attacks targeting its territory, while Safadi praised Cairo’s support for the kingdom.
Turning to the Palestinian issue, the ministers stressed that the ongoing regional conflicts must not overshadow the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Gaza. They called for the implementation of the plan proposed by US President Donald Trump and urged an end to Israel's illegal measures in the occupied West Bank, which they said undermine prospects for a just peace.
Their remarks come as Israeli strikes rained across the enclave. At least four Palestinians, including two boys and a pregnant woman, were killed on Sunday in an airstrike on a house in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, according to medical officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. A 15-year-old neighbour was also killed, while his younger brother was wounded.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for Gaza’s civil defence, said at least 10 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes across the enclave in the 24 hours leading up to Sunday morning, including in Gaza City and Khan Younis.
Separately, Gaza’s interior ministry said eight Palestinian police officers were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting their vehicle near the town of Al-Zawayda in central Gaza.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, Israel has killed at least 663 Palestinians and wounded more than 1,700 others since the October ceasefire, brokered by Cairo, Doha, Ankara, and Washington.
Overall, Israel has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians and wounded about 172,000 others since the outbreak of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.
The violence comes as Israel said it plans to partially reopen the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt on Wednesday after weeks of closure linked to its war on Iran. Israeli authorities said the crossing would allow limited movement of people in both directions under coordination with Egypt and monitoring by the European Union (EU).
Rafah is Gaza’s only land crossing to the outside world, and the Palestinian side, usually operated by the Palestinian Authority (PA), was seized by Israel in March 2024. The crossing's closure has further restricted movement and aid access to the territory during the war.
The ministers also criticized Israeli restrictions on access to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound since Israeli authorities closed its gates to worshippers earlier this month, warning that such measures violate international law and Israel’s obligations as an occupying power.
On Lebanon, the two sides expressed support for the Lebanese government’s efforts to strengthen state institutions and ensure that weapons remain under state control, while condemning Israeli attacks and calling for an immediate halt to hostilities.
Abdelatty’s visit to Jordan is the fourth stop on his regional tour, which has also included Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman. He is expected to travel next to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia as part of efforts to coordinate Arab positions amid the widening US-Israeli war on Iran.
