Egypt and Jordan on Tuesday called for the full implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement and the comprehensive peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, affirming support for a transitional Peace Council to oversee the process. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held talks with Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi during an official visit to Amman.
During the meeting in the Jordanian capital, the two ministers stressed the need to adhere to all terms of the Gaza ceasefire and ensure the immediate, sustainable, and unhindered delivery of aid to the strip. They welcomed the formation of the Palestinian National Committee to manage Gaza and the announcement of the second phase of the comprehensive peace plan. They confirmed their commitment to supporting the mission of the Peace Council launched by President Trump as a transitional body, as outlined in the conflict resolution plan and adopted by UN Security Council Resolution 2803. The ministers called for the return of the Palestinian National Authority to resume its responsibilities in Gaza, emphasizing the need to maintain Palestinian territorial unity between the West Bank and Gaza. They stated that a clear political horizon must lead to an independent, sovereign Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in line with international legitimacy and the two-state solution. The officials warned against illegal Israeli measures in the occupied West Bank, which they said risk further escalation and undermine regional calm efforts. They described the two-state solution as the only path to lasting security and stability in the region. On bilateral relations, the ministers highlighted the close ties between President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and King Abdullah II. They discussed ongoing coordination to enhance economic and investment cooperation and build on existing mechanisms to serve the mutual interests of both countries.
