LONDON: Jordan’s foreign minister, Ayman Safadi, and his Egyptian counterpart, Badr Abdelatty, on Monday reaffirmed their support for efforts to strengthen the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, ahead of a Security Council vote that will initiate future plans for the territory.
They emphasized the importance of adhering to the ceasefire, the delivery of humanitarian aid in the territory, and the need to establish a clear political path to achieve a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis based on a two-state solution.
During their telephone conversation, the ministers also discussed a draft UN Security Council resolution, on which members were due to vote later on Monday, that outlines proposed security arrangements for Gaza.
They emphasized that the resolution would enable an “International Stabilization Force” to effectively fulfill its mandate to protect Palestinians, and create the conditions required to facilitate the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Safadi and Abdelatty also reviewed preparations for an international conference on Gaza’s recovery, due to take place in Cairo this month. They stressed the need for regional and global support to ensure effective reconstruction of the territory and alleviate humanitarian suffering, the Jordan News Agency reported.
