On the 20th local time, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Abdul Ati held a conversation with the US Special Envoy for the Middle East Wittkow to discuss the development of regional situation, especially the catastrophic situation in the Gaza Strip. The response and implementation of Israel to the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal are crucial, which is conducive to resolving the current crisis, protecting the lives of hostages, mitigating the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, and ensuring sufficient aid to enter Gaza to meet the needs of Palestinians subjected to systematic hunger policies. Abdul Ati emphasized that it is necessary to seize the opportunity of Hamas accepting the US proposal to end this unjust war that has lasted for nearly two years; it is also necessary to use the proposed 60-day ceasefire period to end the war through negotiations and lay the foundation for a fair solution to the Palestinian issue.
