Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani
According to a statement issued by the Egyptian foreign ministry, Abdelatty and Al Thani exchanged views on Gaza, focusing on the implementation of phase-two measures under the US-led plan, including Israeli withdrawals from the territory.
Abdelatty underscored Egypt’s call for the establishment of a temporary technocratic Palestinian committee to manage the sector in parallel with the formation of an international stabilization force.
He also stressed the importance of ensuring humanitarian aid access to facilitate early recovery, while firmly rejecting any actions that could undermine the geographical unity of Palestinian territories or divide Gaza from the West Bank.
The ministers then discussed Yemen, with Abdelatty reaffirming Egypt’s steadfast support for the country’s unity, territorial integrity, and the preservation of national institutions.
He emphasized the need to advance de-escalation and achieve a comprehensive political solution through Yemeni-led dialogue, avoiding unilateral steps and ensuring the country’s territorial cohesion while meeting the aspirations of its people for security and stability.
Abdelatty highlighted also the depth of fraternal ties between Egypt and Qatar, noting the ongoing development of relations across multiple sectors.
He emphasized the shared commitment to advancing bilateral cooperation, pointing in particular to the Alam El-Roum development project as a model of joint investment and partnership.
The minister also expressed Egypt’s interest in attracting further Qatari investments to consolidate progress made in recent months and serve the interests of both countries.
The two ministers reviewed the signing of a memorandum of understanding in the energy sector on 4 January, describing it as a key step to strengthen institutional cooperation, support regional energy security, and maximize the use of resources available to both countries.
The call concluded with both sides reaffirming the importance of continued coordination and close consultation in the coming period to support regional stability.
