In excerpts from a television interview set to air on Sky News Arabia on Saturday, Egypt's top diplomat stated that there is a broad Arab consensus on deploying a technocratic administrative committee.
He noted that Palestinian factions have also agreed to this approach.
Abdelatty’s remarks come amid ongoing mediation efforts to move forward to the peace plan’s second phase, which involves the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, the establishment of a permanent ceasefire, and the formation of transitional entities to oversee the strip.
Following intensive mediation efforts by Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the US, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect in October, ending two years of Israeli genocidal war onthe strip.
However, progress towards the next phase of the truce has stalled amid Tel Aviv’s repeated violations of the truce.
Minister Abdelatty emphasized that Trump's plan must be implemented in full, not selectively, and described Trump as the sole guarantor of the Gaza ceasefire.
Abdelatty confirmed that the recent gas agreement between Egypt and Israel is purely commercial and has no connection to the Gaza conflict.
"The Egyptian-Israeli gas agreement is a purely commercial transaction between companies," he said.
He disclosed that Egypt had received three proposals to accept displaced Gazans, all of which were firmly rejected.
Turning to the Sudanese crisis, he stressed that Egypt cannot accept the ongoing destruction there and emphasized that any political process must remain entirely Sudanese-led.
