OPEN// FM partakes in Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee's meeting with Jordan's king
CAIRO, June 1 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty on Sunday participated in a meeting of the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee on Gaza with Jordan's King Abdullah II in Amman.
Abdelatty conveyed the greetings of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to the Jordanian monarch, highlighting the unified position of Arab and Muslim nations on the constants of the Palestinian cause, notably the total rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their land or Israel's annexation of the West Bank.
The foreign minister called for mobilizing international efforts aimed at expanding recognition of the Palestinian state, resuming the ceasefire deal and allowing the access of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Abdelatty also took part in a virtual meeting of the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Foreign Minister Mohammad Mustafa and Palestinian Vice President Hussein Al-Sheikh.
During this virtual gathering, the foreign minister reviewed Egypt's strenuous endeavors to resume the ceasefire deal and allow the entry of emergency humanitarian aid to Gaza, reiterating Cairo's firm stance on rejecting plots for displacing Palestinians from their homeland and demanding full Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Palestinian territories.
The top Egyptian diplomat stressed the need to implement the Egypt-crafted Arab-Islamic plan for the early recovery and the reconstruction of Gaza, reaffirming Egypt's keenness to support the Palestinian people for getting their legitimate rights, foremost of which is the right to establish an independent Palestinian state along the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Abdelatty noted Egypt pays great attention to an international conference on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian question and the implementation of the two-state solution, which will be held in New York in June and co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.
On his part, the Palestinian leader expounded his viewpoint and assessment of the latest developments in the Palestinian territories, spotting light on the recent reforms taken by the Palestinian leadership to address the challenges of the current phase. (MENA)

Aou El Enein Foundation Distributes Thousands of Iftar Meals on Arafat
Ahmed Emam In a continued show of solidarity and humanitarian outreach, the Abou El Enein Foundation distributed thousands of hot meals to fasting individuals on Arafat Day, one of the holiest days in the Islamic calendar. The large-scale initiative targeted key locations in Cairo and beyond, with a special focus on the Ahl al-Bayt mosques, which witness high footfall during the spiritual occasion. Additional distributions were carried out along desert highways, reaching travelers and workers unable to make it home in time for iftar. The effort comes as part of the foundation's partnership with the National Alliance for Civil and Development Work and underscores its ongoing commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and promoting social cohesion, particularly during religious events that serve as reminders of compassion and shared responsibility. "This campaign reflects our core mission to stand by those in need, especially during sacred times when acts of giving take on added meaning," the foundation said in a statement. The Arafat Day meal distribution follows a broader year-round effort by the foundation to combat food insecurity and uplift underserved communities. In recent months, the organization oversaw one of the country's largest meat distribution campaigns, slaughtering 1,200 sacrificial animals and distributing over 250,000 kilograms of meat across all Egyptian governorates. The campaign, supported by hundreds of volunteers, was launched in collaboration with the National Alliance and other civil society partners. Recognized as one of Egypt's most active nonprofit organizations, the Abou El Enein Foundation continues to expand its outreach across sectors including food support, healthcare, education, and community development—driven by a vision to improve lives and promote inclusive growth. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
