Egypt, UK FMs Hold Talks on Gaza Ceasefire, Bilateral Ties

Taarek Refaat Egypt's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration, and Expatriates Affairs Badr Abdel Ati held a telephone conversation with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy to discuss ways of enhancing bilateral relations and advancing efforts toward a ceasefire in Gaza, alongside ensuring the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to the besieged territory. Abdel Ati hailed the recent positive momentum in Egyptian–British relations, underscoring Cairo's determination to elevate ties to a strategic partnership. He emphasized the importance of building on this progress to expand cooperation across multiple sectors, particularly in economic, trade, and investment domains. Turning to the situation in Gaza, Abdel Ati stressed the urgent need for the international community to confront what he described as 'irresponsible and unacceptable' Israeli policies and statements, warning they risk further escalation and violence in the region. He said such actions constitute violations of international law and global norms at a time when regional and international partners are working intensively to halt Israel's ongoing military campaign and allow humanitarian relief into the enclave without conditions. The Egyptian minister welcomed announcements by several Western countries — including the UK — of their intention, or consideration, to recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming UN General Assembly session in September. He underlined that broadening the recognition of an independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is 'the only path to achieving security and stability for all peoples of the region.' Abdel Ati also listened to Lammy's assessments regarding the recognition issue and its potential implications. The Egyptian foreign minister briefed his British counterpart on Egypt's ongoing efforts to facilitate humanitarian access to Gaza amid what he described as 'catastrophic humanitarian conditions,' calling for international pressure to end the policy of starvation targeting civilians. He also outlined Egypt's preparations, in coordination with the Palestinian government and the United Nations, to host a conference on early recovery and reconstruction immediately after a ceasefire is reached. On his part, Lammy expressed the UK's appreciation and support for Egypt's diplomatic and humanitarian efforts on Gaza, affirming London's readiness to cooperate closely in pursuing peace and stability in the region. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
