OPEN// FM stresses urgent need to mobilize int'l support for Gaza reconstruction plan
CAIRO, Aug 17 (MENA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty stressed on Sunday the urgent need to sustain international support for implementing the Arab plan for Gaza's reconstruction, which outlines requirements for early recovery, infrastructure rebuilding, and restoring basic services as a prelude to the enclave's long-term development. Abdelatty made the remarks during his meeting in New Alamein city with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa, in the presence of Social Solidarity Minister Maya Morsy and Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Mohamed Ayman Ashour. Abdelatty reviewed preparations for the upcoming Cairo Conference on Gaza Early Recovery and Reconstruction to be convened once a ceasefire is reached, with both sides discussing detailed arrangements for the event. The minister reaffirmed Egypt's unwavering support for the Palestinian people in obtaining their legitimate rights and establishing their independent state, while also updating on Egypt's mediation efforts to secure a ceasefire. He stressed Egypt's categorical rejection of any displacement of Palestinians, denouncing Israel's policy of starvation and blockade in Gaza, as well as its systematic settlement expansion and violations in the occupied territories. The minister underlined Egypt's commitment to supporting the Palestinian Authority (PA) to enable it to assume its responsibilities in both Gaza and the West Bank, highlighting the need to activate a temporary Gaza management committee until the PA fully resumes its role in the Strip. He also voiced Egypt's readiness to help restore order by training Palestinian police forces to fill the security vacuum in Gaza. For her part, Minister Maya Morsy outlined Egypt's humanitarian efforts in Gaza, noting that the Egyptian Red Crescent has facilitated the entry of tens of thousands of aid trucks through the Rafah border crossing carrying hundreds of thousands of tons of relief supplies, alongside dozens of ambulances. Egypt has also treated thousands of injured and ill Palestinians at its hospitals, she added. Meanwhile, Minister Ashour reviewed the executive framework and program documents for the reconstruction plan, emphasizing the importance of ensuring effectiveness and sustainability across infrastructure, services, social protection, economic development, and local governance. He confirmed ongoing coordination with Palestinian counterparts to finalize the plan in its complete form. The Palestinian premier hailed Egypt's leading role in supporting the Palestinian cause and substantial humanitarian efforts in delivering aid to Gaza, praising Cairo's initiative in drafting the Arab plan for Gaza reconstruction and its work on early recovery.

Egypt joins Geneva negotiations on Global Plastics Treaty, calls for urgent agreement
Egypt's Ministry of Local Development and Environment announced on Sunday that a national delegation, led by Ali Abou Sennah, head of the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency, participated in the second round of the fifth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-5.2) in Geneva, which is working to draft a legally binding international treaty on plastic pollution, including marine waste. Acting Environment Minister Manal Awad said the negotiations, held from 5 to 15 August, brought together more than 2,600 representatives from 183 member states and 400 observer organisations, including NGOs, waste pickers, and youth groups. She warned that plastic pollution poses an escalating global threat to public health and ecosystems, requiring urgent and collective international action. Awad noted that the Egyptian delegation—which also included representatives from the ministries of foreign affairs and petroleum, along with the Federation of Egyptian Industries—actively supported Egypt's positions across working groups. These discussions covered key issues such as sustainable plastic production, raw materials, and financing mechanisms for the treaty. The session ended with countries agreeing to continue negotiations in a further round, with the ultimate goal of adopting a comprehensive global treaty to end plastic pollution. On the sidelines, Egypt held bilateral talks with officials from Germany, Norway, the United States, Bangladesh, and the United Kingdom. It also participated in regional coordination groups, including the African and Arab blocs, as well as the 'like-minded' coalition, and contributed to the ministerial segment on 12–13 August. Awad underscored the importance of reaching a consensus text to effectively tackle plastic pollution, reaffirming Egypt's commitment to advancing international cooperation for environmental protection and sustainable development.
