Cairo, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) — Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty on Sunday called for the immediate deployment of an international stabilization force to monitor the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
He made the call during a telephone conversation with his Greek counterpart, Giorgos Gerapetritis, during which the diplomats discussed the escalating tensions in the region, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
B. Abdel Aty stressed the urgent need to advance the second phase of the US-proposed peace plan, including the deployment of an international stabilization force in Gaza, which was approved by the UN Security Council last November.
He reiterated Egypt's support for the newly formed Palestinian technocratic committee to govern Gaza, describing it as an important transitional body tasked with handling day-to-day administrative and humanitarian issues.
B. Abdel Ati confirmed that the committee, established in mid-January, is called upon to pave the way for the full return of the Palestinian National Authority to govern the territory.
The Minister also stressed the importance of ensuring the continued flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza and laying the foundation for rapid recovery and reconstruction.
The current ceasefire, in effect since October 10, initially focused on prisoner exchanges and the delivery of humanitarian aid. The proposed next phase calls for a complete Israeli withdrawal, the disarmament of Hamas, and the beginning of reconstruction under a transitional government.
