Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has reaffirmed Egypt's unwavering stance against the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land. During a meeting with representatives of the American organization Jstreet, Abdelatty emphasized that Egypt will not accept any attempts to displace Palestinians or separate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. This stance is in line with Egypt's long-standing commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause.

The meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, also saw Abdelatty stress the importance of establishing a ceasefire and ensuring the full implementation of a 20-point plan proposed by former US President Donald Trump. The plan aims to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and promote stability in the region. Egypt has consistently called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, emphasizing the need for dialogue and negotiation.

Abdelatty also highlighted the importance of maintaining the unity of Palestinian territories, emphasizing that Gaza is an integral part of the Palestinian state. He reiterated Egypt's support for a two-state solution, with a Palestinian state established on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This stance is in line with international efforts to revive the stalled peace process.

The Egyptian Foreign Minister also discussed regional developments with the Jstreet representatives, emphasizing Egypt's commitment to peaceful conflict resolution. He noted that Egypt is keen to promote stability and security in the Middle East, and that the country is working closely with international partners to address the challenges facing the region.

The meeting with Jstreet representatives is part of Egypt's ongoing diplomatic efforts to promote a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Egypt has long been a key player in regional efforts to address the crisis, and has consistently called for a negotiated settlement.

Abdelatty's statements were reported by the Egyptian state news agency, Al-Ashrakh Al-Siyasi. The agency is part of the Egyptian Radio and Television Union, which is responsible for disseminating official news and information.
