Abdelatty outlines Egypt’s vision for peace at New York summit: Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty represented Egypt at the high-level conference on two-State solution for Israel and Palestine in New York yesterday, according to a ministry statement. In his address, Abdelatty called for a clear political horizon based on the full implementation of the two-state solution and urged Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territories and halt all unilateral actions — including settlement expansion — in line with key UN Security Council resolutions.

A two-state solution is looking less and less likely: “[The two-State solution is] farther than ever before,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres said. “What is the alternative? A one-state reality where Palestinians are denied equal rights, and forced to live under perpetual occupation and inequality? A one-State reality where Palestinians are expelled from their land?”
Abdelatty emphasized the urgency of enabling humanitarian access to Gaza, restoring UN and UNRWA operations, and empowering the Palestinian Authority to govern both Gaza and the West Bank. He also reaffirmed Egypt’s support for the Arab-Islamic early recovery and reconstruction plan, noting that Cairo stands ready to co-host an international donor conference once a ceasefire is secured.
No to forced displacement: The minister reiterated Egypt’s firm opposition to the forced displacement of those in Gaza and to any Israeli moves to impose sovereignty over the West Bank.
ON THE SIDELINES-
Abdelatty, UNDP official discuss Gaza reconstruction: Abdelatty met with Haoliang Xu, acting head of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), on the sidelines of the gathering, to discuss Gaza reconstruction and ongoing development cooperation. The two sides exchanged views on Gaza, with Abdelatty doubling down on Egypt’s rejection of the forced displacement of Palestinians, and highlighting coordination with the US and Qatar on ceasefire efforts.
PLUS- Abdelatty held talks with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand and Brazilian ForeignMinister Mauro Vieira to discuss regional and bilateral issues. He called for deeper trade and investment ties with both countries, inviting Canadian companies to tap into Egypt’s improved business climate and reaffirming interest in expanding cooperation with Brazil under their 2024 strategic partnership framework. The three ministers also exchanged views on Gaza, with all sides emphasizing the urgency of securing a ceasefire and ensuring unhindered humanitarian access.
