Egypt condemns Israeli efforts to divide Gaza, West Bank
(MENAFN) Egypt has firmly dismissed Israeli efforts to fragment the Palestinian territories by creating a divide between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, stated Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Saturday.
Abdelatty's comments came during a meeting in Cairo with a delegation from the Palestinian Fatah liberation movement, headed by Jibril Rajoub, the secretary-general of the Fatah Central Committee, as reported by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.
The talks centered on the latest developments amid the continuing Israeli military actions in both Gaza and the West Bank, which the ministry characterized as a "dangerous Israeli escalation."
Egypt is actively working to secure a ceasefire and provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, emphasizing its support for the Palestinian Authority, according to Foreign Minister Abdelatty.
He also reaffirmed Egypt's "complete rejection" of Israel's continuing military offensives in both Gaza and the West Bank, citing an "aggressive policy" and violations of international humanitarian regulation.
Egypt opposes any forced displacement of Palestinians and supports an Arab-Islamic initiative for Gaza's reconstruction.
Abdelatty stressed Egypt's commitment to Palestinian unity under the PA as a path to a lasting resolution: an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
