El Sisi, Starmer talk Gaza: President Abdel Fattah El Sisi received a phone call from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer where they discussed bilateral relations and regional developments, according to an Ittihadeya statement. The call emphasized strengthening cooperation in trade and investment while reviewing Egypt’s efforts to implement the Gaza ceasefire agreement. Both leaders stressed the importance of swiftly beginning Gaza’s reconstruction without displacing Palestinians, with El Sisi reiterating that a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital remains “the only guarantee for lasting peace in the Middle East.”

Italian PM praises Egypt’s efforts to counter illegal migration: In a separate call, El Sisi spoke with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni about economic, investment, and trade relations, according to a separate Ittihadeya statement. The leaders agreed to intensify cooperation on combating illegal migration, with Meloni commending Egypt’s successful efforts that have prevented migration boats from departing Egyptian shores since 2016. Gaza was also present in the call, with both sides stressing the importance of beginning reconstruction efforts while supporting Palestinians’ right to establish an independent state.
PALESTENIAN PM WAS IN TOWN-
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa was in Egypt yesterday, where he met with Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. Discussions centered around the reconstruction of Gaza, with Madbouly and his counterpart touching on joint efforts to complete Gaza’s reconstruction plan ahead of presenting it to the emergency Arab Summit convening in Cairo on Tuesday.
Remember: Last month Egypt said it will propose “a comprehensive vision for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip in a manner that ensures the Palestinian people remain in their homeland and aligns with their legitimate and legal rights.”
