In a statement, the Egyptian foreign ministry praised Trump’s leadership and his commitment to ending the war in Gaza and promoting security, peace and stability in the Middle East.

Egypt said it supports the mission of the Board as part of the second phase of the comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza, in line with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803.

The statement said Egypt will continue to coordinate with the US and partners to consolidate the ceasefire, ensure the unrestricted flow of humanitarian and relief aid, deploy an International Stabilization Force, and enable the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to carry out its duties.

It also urged launching early recovery projects across the strip as a prelude to reconstruction, the statement added.

Additionally, Egypt reaffirmed its commitment to advancing a path toward a just and lasting peace that guarantees the Palestinians' right to self-determination and statehood, contributing to security and stability across the region.
