Water is Egypt's only existential threat, Nile rights non-negotiable: FM Abdelatty on GERD - Foreign Affairs
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has described water security as Egypt's sole existential threat, stressing that the country will not allow its historical Nile water rights to be compromised. Speaking in an interview with presenter Lamis El-Hadidy on ON TV Sunday evening, Abdelatty said: 'We [Egyptians] must trust the state and its institutions—they are fully aware of the importance of this issue and will not hesitate to defend Egypt's water rights.' He noted Egypt's annual water needs exceed 90 billion cubic metres, while its Nile share stands at just 55.5 billion. Per capita water availability is under 500 cubic meters per year—well below the United Nation's (UN) water poverty threshold of 1,000. 'This poses a major water challenge for the state… placing Egypt in a state of severe water scarcity.' Regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Abdelatty stated that negotiations with Ethiopia have stalled after 12 years of talks, accusing Addis Ababa of using the process to enforce a fait accompli. Between 2020 and 2024, Ethiopia unilaterally completed the dam's five-stage filling and began operating two turbines—without an agreement on filling or operations with its downstream nations, Egypt and Sudan. In December 2023, Cairo announced the end of negotiations, citing Ethiopia's refusal to engage on proposed legal or technical solutions. Red Sea security, Suez Canal traffic Abdelatty also addressed security in the Red Sea, saying Egypt is the most affected by disruptions to navigation. 'More than $8 billion in direct net losses have resulted from the decline in Suez Canal traffic.' Ship traffic through the canal has dropped by over 65 percent, he said, with monthly losses from reduced Red Sea navigation reaching $600 million. The Suez Canal, which previously carried 12 percent of global trade, has seen shipping diverted via the Cape of Good Hope since Houthi attacks near the Bab El-Mandab Strait intensified in late 2023. Yemen's Houthi rebel group says the attacks target ships linked to Israel, the US, and the UK in support of Palestinians. Despite a US-Houthi ceasefire deal brokered by Oman last month, the Houthis later stated Israel was not part of the agreement. Abdelatty said Egypt is in contact with Iran to help pressure the Houthis to halt attacks. 'We are speaking with the Iranians to pressure the Houthis to refrain from targeting ships. This is one of the main topics in our discussions… and we are engaging with all regional and international parties.' He added that the Omani foreign minister is expected in Cairo this week to discuss Red Sea maritime security. Red Sea coastal states council Abdelatty called for the rapid activation of the Council of Arab and African Coastal States of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, established in 2020 by eight littoral countries of the region. 'We are engaging with our Arab and African brothers to expedite the establishment and operationalization of the Council.' He reiterated that Red Sea security is the responsibility of its coastal states alone, rejecting any foreign military presence in the region. 'This is a red line and a clear Egyptian position.' At a press conference in January 2025 with the foreign ministers of Eritrea and Somalia, Abdelatty stated that Egypt rejects any non-littoral military presence and supports Somali sovereignty. 'We reaffirm our commitment to Somalia's stability… and support the government in extending state control… and combating terrorism.' Tensions rose after Ethiopia signed a deal with Somaliland in early 2024, granting it access to the Red Sea in exchange for recognizing the breakaway region. Somalia views Somaliland as part of its territory. 'We have conveyed our position on the Red Sea to all relevant actors in the region, including Turkey... Our stance is very clear: we will not accept, under any circumstance, the permanent presence of any non-coastal party on the Red Sea.' In December 2024, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced a Somali-Ethiopian agreement to end their year-long dispute, calling it a 'historic' step toward renewed cooperation.

Egypt pushes for lasting Gaza ceasefire, post-war reconstruction plan: FM Abdelatty - Foreign Affairs
In an interview aired on Sunday evening with presenter Lamis El-Hadidy, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty outlined key elements of a potential Gaza ceasefire agreement currently being developed by the United States, with mediation from Egypt and Qatar. 'We hope for a sustainable solution and a lasting ceasefire. What is currently on the table is a first step—a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages and the rapid entry of humanitarian and medical aid into Gaza,' Abdelatty said. 'The hope is that this will build the momentum necessary to sustain the ceasefire and transition to the second phase, which is based on the 19 January agreement.' He stressed that the proposed agreement would serve as a foundation for a longer-term truce supported by international guarantees. 'There is an American understanding of the importance of including guarantees in any forthcoming agreement to ensure it holds. Renewed aggression would seriously threaten regional stability.' Asked about Hamas's involvement, Abdelatty confirmed its participation. 'Of course Hamas is part of the talks, as the deal concerns the release of hostages and Palestinian detainees.' He also noted a shift in Washington's focus toward Gaza, saying any deal must include firm guarantees to prevent renewed conflict. 'We hope to reach an agreement on Gaza within a week or two.' His comments came after US President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that a ceasefire could be reached 'within the next week'—a statement met with scepticism from Israeli officials. Gaza reconstruction conference to follow ceasefire Egypt is preparing to host an international conference on Gaza's post-war reconstruction and governance within weeks of a ceasefire agreement being reached. The initiative is part of a broader Arab–Islamic plan, endorsed at the extraordinary Arab Summit in Cairo on 4 March and later supported by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the European Union (EU), China, and Russia. 'We are working vigorously to convene the Gaza Reconstruction Conference in Cairo, to implement the Arab–Islamic plan,' Abdelatty said, adding that coordination is ongoing with the United Nations and the World Bank. He confirmed that all preparatory work—including the agenda, expected outcomes, and logistical planning—has been completed. The two-day conference will feature four workshops focused on the role of the private sector in early recovery, security arrangements, governance of Gaza, and the question of who will administer the territory. Abdelatty said Egypt's priority is enabling Palestinians to remain on their land and resist displacement by launching swift recovery projects, including temporary housing for displaced families. He addressed previous proposals to redevelop Gaza into a "riviera," rejecting any such plans. 'Displacement is a red line for both Egypt and Jordan,' he said. On governance, he stressed the need for clarity. 'No party will invest in reconstruction without a clear vision for Gaza's security and administration. The central question remains: who will govern Gaza?' Post-war governance and Palestinian statehood Governance, Abdelatty said, is 'a critical question' for Palestinians and the international community alike. Egypt's position is that the Palestinian Authority (PA) should lead, reaffirming the territorial and political unity of Gaza and the occupied West Bank. 'Our proposal includes forming a non-factional technocratic committee to administer Gaza for six months, in coordination with the PA.' He said Egypt has suggested redeploying trained Palestinian police to manage security in the Strip. Regarding a possible Arab or international peacekeeping force, he stated that Cairo would not oppose such a deployment—if it were part of a clear political framework leading to the establishment of a Palestinian state. 'Any international presence, potentially including Arab forces, must be linked to a defined political horizon,' he said. Egypt's participation remains on the table under those conditions. Abdelatty stated that the international community now overwhelmingly supports the necessity of a two-state solution and the realization of a Palestinian state. He stressed that Egypt prefers to speak of 'realizing the Palestinian state' rather than invoking the 'two-state solution,' which he said currently allows Israel, whose government opposes it, to act as a veto-wielding party. 'There is no partner at present. The current Israeli government rejects the two-state solution,' he said. Moreover, he stressed the need for joint action and pressure to realize the Palestinian state, as it is the only guarantee for regional security and stability. 'We are facing an international system that lacks unified rules and standards applicable to all ongoing conflicts.' He criticized the lack of consistent international standards in dealing with conflicts, noting that some states 'place themselves above international and humanitarian law'—a reality Egypt cannot accept. On the question of Hamas's weapons, Abdelatty argued that if a genuine political path to statehood were in place, no group would have justification to bear arms and that the PA must be empowered to perform its security duties in Gaza. Middle East security and Iran–Israel dynamics Abdelatty dismissed speculation about redrawing the map of the Middle East as 'an illusion,' warning that force and military dominance do not bring stability. He said Egypt remains committed to its peace treaty with Israel but has consistently warned Israeli leaders that overwhelming force will not deliver long-term security. 'Regional security requires the will of all states involved—not just one.' He argued that no nation—no matter how powerful or well-supported—can unilaterally shape the region, pointing to the failures of past hegemonic approaches as evidence that lasting security depends on cooperation and inclusion. Asked whether the current Israel–Iran ceasefire would hold, Abdelatty said Egypt is engaged in daily communications with relevant parties and encouraging renewed negotiations between Tehran and Washington. He stated that the recent conflict had not fundamentally altered the regional balance of power, as it was only an attack and a response. He called for a regional security framework that includes nuclear security, reiterating Egypt's demand for a WMD-free zone, and pointed out that Iran is a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), while Israel is not. Abdelatty voiced concern over the Dimona nuclear facility near Egypt's border and the risk of Iranian retaliation, noting that both Egypt and Jordan are 'in the area of fire.' He said Egypt–Iran ties are gradually improving, citing the renaming of a street in Tehran that previously honoured the assassin of President Anwar Sadat. He expressed hope for complete diplomatic restoration and future cooperation in trade and tourism. Despite weaknesses in the international legal system, Abdelatty said Egypt will continue pushing for accountability and the rule of law as the only path to real security.
