Egypt and Jordan called for deploying an international stability force in the Gaza Strip and forming a Palestinian technocratic committee to manage the territory under U.S. President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan. In a telephone conversation, the foreign ministers emphasized adhering to the ceasefire and fully implementing its terms, while stressing the transition to the second phase and ensuring sustainable humanitarian aid delivery.
On Saturday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held a telephone conversation with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi to discuss developments in Gaza and broader regional issues. The ministers highlighted the need to preserve territorial unity between the West Bank and Gaza, urging full implementation of the ceasefire agreement proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The call occurred as Abdelatty traveled to Jeddah for an extraordinary session of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's Council of Foreign Ministers focused on developments in Somalia. During the discussion, they expressed complete rejection of Israel's recognition of Somaliland, reaffirming full support for Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity as a key pillar for stability in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea.
They warned against illegal Israeli measures in the occupied West Bank, which they said undermine peace efforts and risk further escalation. The ministers maintained that a two-state solution is the only viable path to lasting security and peace. Regarding Lebanon, they called for an immediate halt to Israeli attacks and reiterated support for its sovereignty and national institutions. On Syria, they stressed respecting its territorial integrity and ensuring citizen safety. For Yemen, they voiced support for de-escalation initiatives and a Yemeni-led dialogue to address the people's aspirations and bolster regional security.
The conversation concluded with affirmations of the deep historical ties between Cairo and Amman, along with commitments to strengthen bilateral economic and investment cooperation through established coordination mechanisms.
