Egypt’s foreign minister meets a Palestine Liberation Organization delegation, calling for “unity” and the strengthening of the Palestinian Authority amid Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza.
During his meeting with the PLO delegation in Cairo, Badr Abdelatty “reaffirmed Egypt’s supportive stance towards the Palestinian Authority,” his office says in a statement.
The minister also reiterated “Egypt’s rejection of any plans to displace Palestinians from their lands,” it adds.
Last month, Egypt hosted talks between rival Palestinian groups Fatah and Hamas to discuss bringing postwar Gaza under PA control.
Fatah, which governs parts of the West Bank under the PA, dominates both the PA and the PLO, an internationally recognized representative of the Palestinian people.
It has been excluded from Gaza since Hamas seized control in 2007.
Abdelatty also discusses with the PLO delegation Egypt’s efforts to end the Gaza war, reach a ceasefire agreement and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Mediators Egypt, Qatar and the United States have been engaged in months of talks to cement a truce in Gaza, but so far to no avail.
