Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan affirmed their shared firm rejection of Israeli Ministerial Council's decision to draw up a plan to reoccupy the Gaza Strip and expand ongoing aggression, in an attempt to entrench illegal occupation of Palestinian territories, continue genocide against defenseless Palestinian people, undermine their right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state, in blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law.

They also discussed political and security developments in the region and several pressing regional issues, including the catastrophic situation in Gaza amid the ongoing brutal Israeli aggression. The Egyptian foreign minister outlined Egypt's ongoing efforts, in coordination with the US and Qatar to reach a deal ensuring release of hostages and a number of Palestinian prisoners, ending the bloodshed of Palestinians and guaranteeing full and unconditional access for humanitarian aid. They also agreed on the need for an immediate ceasefire agreement and unhindered access of urgent humanitarian, relief and medical aid, as well as an immediate end to the policy of starvation and systematic killing fueling conflict and exacerbating extremism.
