Egypt urges implementation of Gaza peace plan amid Israeli rejection
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held discussions with Nikolay Mladenov, the High Representative for Gaza, regarding the implementation of a US-backed peace plan for the Gaza Strip. Abdelatty emphasized the necessity of fulfilling all roadmap provisions, specifically calling for a complete Israeli withdrawal and the provision of full, safe, and sustainable humanitarian aid to facilitate reconstruction and early recovery.
During the talks, discussions centered on the deployment of an International Stabilisation Force to monitor ceasefires and maintain security during the transitional period. Abdelatty also highlighted the importance of empowering the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to begin its interim duties from within the enclave, eventually transitioning full responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority.
In contrast, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the 15-point peace plan presented by the Peace Council. Netanyahu stated that Israel would not withdraw from the Gaza Strip until the Hamas movement is completely disarmed. Mladenov described the US-backed plan as the only way to prevent a repeat of the October 7, 2023 attacks, noting that disarmament would involve the surrender of all Hamas weaponry, including Kalashnikov rifles.
