Cairo, October 4 (Xinhua) — Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty and Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh discussed the developments in the US ceasefire proposal in the Gaza Strip by phone on Saturday, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry reported.
B. Abdel Aty emphasized that the cessation of hostilities must guarantee the Palestinians the opportunity to remain on their land without displacement, reject annexation plans, preserve the unity of the West Bank and Gaza, and begin rapid restoration and reconstruction, the ministry's statement said.
The diplomat noted that Egypt hopes that international efforts will ensure a complete ceasefire, alleviate the humanitarian crisis, and allow for more aid to be delivered to the Palestinian enclave.
H. al-Sheikh, in turn, emphasized the importance of leveraging the "positive momentum" of the ceasefire plan to end the nearly two-year war and prevent further humanitarian catastrophe. He praised Egypt's role in protecting Palestinian rights.
The phone call took place the day after the Palestinian movement Hamas announced its agreement in principle with the US proposal and its readiness to begin mediation talks. Cairo welcomed Hamas's statement, describing it as a sign of the Palestinian factions' commitment to ending a "dark chapter" in the region's history.
