Dr. Badr Abdel Aty, Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration, stressed the importance of moving to the second phase of the U.S. peace plan. This phase should encompass political, humanitarian, and developmental elements. He highlighted the need for early recovery steps and reconstruction efforts in Gaza, ensuring that humanitarian aid aligns with the population’s needs.

They emphasized the critical role of the international community in halting these crimes. Additionally, they exchanged views on supporting sustainable development across Africa, particularly in the Sahel region, and enhancing economic cooperation among African nations.
Conclusion
Egypt’s proactive stance on the U.S. peace plan and its commitment to regional stability highlight its role as a key player in Middle Eastern diplomacy. The upcoming conference in November presents an opportunity for international collaboration in rebuilding Gaza and addressing broader regional challenges.
