According to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Abdelatty highlighted Egypt’s efforts, in cooperation with Qatar and the US, to reach a permanent ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, stressing the necessity of stopping the bloodshed of the Palestinian people.

He also reviewed Egypt’s ongoing efforts to bring humanitarian, medical, and shelter aid into Gaza, stressing the need to ensure the continuous flow of humanitarian aid into the strip and the importance of continuing pressure to increase the number of aid trucks.

Additionally, Abdelatty and his Turkish counterpart stressed the importance of continuing joint action with international actors to halt the brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza and reach a deal that would guarantee the release of captives and put an end to the current starvation policy.

They also emphasised the need to confront Israel’s disregard for all rules of international law and international humanitarian law, reaffirming the importance of exerting pressure on both concerned parties to reach a ceasefire deal as soon as possible.

During his call with his Greek counterpart, the Egyptian FM addressed the latest developments in Libya, where both sides stressed the utmost importance of holding presidential and parliamentary elections simultaneously at the earliest possible opportunity.

They also stressed the necessity of dismantling militias and the withdrawal of all foreign forces, foreign fighters, and mercenaries, considering this the only guarantee to achieve security and stability in Libya.

During the call, Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s steadfast commitment to protecting religious sanctities, including Saint Catherine’s Monastery.

He emphasised the state’s commitment to protecting and preserving the monastery’s sacred religious status, as well as refraining from encroaching on its associated archaeological sites, given their spiritual value and religious standing.
