OPEN// FM participates in Oslo Forum sessions
CAIRO, June 11 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty Wednesday participated at the start of his visit to Norway in the opening session of the Oslo Forum.
The 2025 edition of the forum focuses on mediation efforts in international conflicts.
He also took part in a panel discussion titled "A different future for the Middle East," alongside several foreign ministers.
The session addressed ways to end the Israeli war on Gaza and to achieve truce and stability in the region.
The foreign minister highlighted the international consensus on the need to implement the two-state solution, reaffirming Egypt's steadfast commitment to ending the war and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, ensuring a permanent ceasefire and facilitating unhindered humanitarian aid access.
Abdelatty condemned the widespread destruction in Gaza, describing it as a deliberate effort to restrict the choices of its residents and their displacement and expand Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.
He stressed that Israel's obstruction of humanitarian aid to Gaza constitutes a grave violation of international humanitarian law.
The minister also discussed the situation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
He outlined Egypt's efforts to stop the bloodshed in Gaza, noting Cairo's serious initiatives to achieve a ceasefire and ensure the rapid and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.
Abdelatty also referred to the extraordinary Arab summit held in Cairo on March 4, 2025, which adopted a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza without displacing its residents.
This plan received broad support at the Arab, Islamic, and international levels, according to him.
He announced Egypt's intention to host an international conference for early recovery and reconstruction of Gaza once the hostilities cease.
He stressed the importance of recognizing the State of Palestine as a means to promote peace, justice, and stability in the Middle East, calling on all members of the international community to recognize Palestine. (MENA)
