CAIRO, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty on Tuesday called on the international community to pressure Israel to implement a ceasefire in Gaza, saying it would help ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

According to a statement from Egypt's Foreign Ministry, Abdel Aty made the remarks in separate telephone conversations with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, European Foreign Minister Kaya Kallas and Palestinian Vice President Hussein al-Sheikh on the Palestinian issue.

B. Abdel Aty spoke about the mediation efforts undertaken by Egypt in cooperation with Qatar and the United States to achieve a ceasefire, facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid and release a number of hostages and prisoners, the statement said.

He also touched on the ongoing preparations for an international conference on the speedy reconstruction of Gaza, which will be held as soon as a ceasefire agreement is reached.

According to the statement, the officials reaffirmed their full support for Egypt's efforts and its role in strengthening security and stability in the region.

Hamas and other Palestinian factions announced their agreement to a ceasefire proposal in Gaza presented by Egyptian and Qatari mediators, according to a Hamas statement released on Monday.

Egyptian sources confirmed to Egypt's Al-Qahira TV that the proposal includes a temporary halt to military operations and the redeployment of Israeli troops to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid sufficient to meet the needs of the Gaza Strip.

The ceasefire includes a prisoner exchange, including the release of 10 living Israeli prisoners and the transfer of 18 bodies in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

However, a senior Israeli official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said on Tuesday that Israel was demanding the release of all hostages still being held in Gaza. -0-

ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — Construction of the Miso-Dire Dawa Expressway, a major infrastructure project under the Ethiopia-Djibouti Transport Corridor, began in the eastern Ethiopian city of Dire Dawa on Tuesday.

At the project launch ceremony, Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh said that the creation of reliable road infrastructure is a vital driving force and factor in the country's socio-economic development.

“For developing countries like Ethiopia, road infrastructure is essential to improve people’s living standards and economic growth. Therefore, the launch of the Miso-Dire Dawa Expressway project reflects the commitment of the Ethiopian government to modernize transport,” he said.

According to him, in Ethiopia, more than 90 percent of the transportation of people and goods is done by road. The Miso-Dire Dawa Expressway will play an important role in strengthening economic, social and political interactions between regions and communities.

“This expressway is not only a vital project for ensuring connectivity in East Africa and boosting Ethiopia’s economic and social development, but also a shining example of China-Ethiopia cooperation, common development and common prosperity,” CCECC Director General Chen Sichang said at the ceremony. –0–

LJUBLJANA, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — Slovenia has sent its first batch of humanitarian aid for Gaza to Jordan, the country's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday criticized U.S. military maneuvers in the Caribbean Sea near Venezuela.

All disputes must be resolved through dialogue, said K. Sheinbaum, repeating her government's call for "non-interference" and "self-determination of peoples."

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday he would mobilize 4.5 million civilian militias across the country to counter U.S. threats of war.

N. Maduro's statement followed statements by Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez, who accused Washington of trying to justify military action in the Caribbean under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking.

Earlier this month, US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Maduro on charges of involvement in international drug trafficking. –0–
