Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Co-operation and Egyptians Abroad Badr Abdel-Aati has stressed the importance of completing the remaining requirements of the first phase of the US President’s plan for Gaza.
This includes the immediate commencement of the work of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza from within the Strip, the deployment of the international stabilisation force, and the swift delivery of humanitarian, medical and relief assistance.
He also underlined that these measures are essential to consolidating the ceasefire, strengthening security and creating the appropriate conditions for the launch of early recovery and reconstruction efforts.
