New York, September 28 (QNA) – United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty discussed a range of regional and international issues, with a particular focus on the situation in the Gaza Strip.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
According to a statement released Sunday by Egypt’s Foreign Ministry, Abdelatty emphasized the urgent need to intensify efforts toward reaching a cease-fire agreement in Gaza and ensuring the unobstructed delivery of humanitarian aid.
The Egyptian minister reiterated his country’s rejection of any proposals involving the displacement of Palestinians or the dissolution of the Palestinian cause.
He condemned the Israeli practices of killing and starvation, and reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, which is essential for achieving stability in the Middle East. Abdelatty also praised the growing number of countries recognizing Palestinian statehood.
He reaffirmed Egypt’s full support for UN agencies operating in Gaza under difficult and dangerous conditions, particularly as Israel targets these agencies.
He highlighted Egypt’s ongoing support for Guterres and the UN, especially for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Abdelatty also announced Egypt’s intention to host an international conference focused on early recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, in coordination with the United Nations, the Palestinian Authority, and international partners, aimed at mobilizing support for rebuilding efforts.
The minister further outlined Egypt’s position on Sudan, reaffirming support for the country’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
He stressed the importance of preserving Sudan’s national institutions and called for intensified efforts to lift the siege on the city of El Fasher and alleviate the humanitarian crisis there.
