Egypt maintains “intense contacts” to stop the escalation between Israel and Palestine
Egypt, a key mediator in the conflict between Palestine and Israel, has announced that it is maintaining “intensive contacts” to stop the current escalation between Palestinians and Israelis. In a statement, the spokesperson for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Ahmed Abu Zeid, detailed that these conversations, led by the head of the portfolio, Sameh Shokri, were taking place “at all levels to contain the crisis” that was unleashed, in reference to international actors.
The objective is to unify efforts and prevent further tension and instability in the region. The spokesperson highlighted that Shokri has also spoken with the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, underlining the importance of stopping the escalation and promoting moderation on all sides.
Egypt, along with other actors such as Qatar, led mediation efforts last May to achieve a truce between Israel and Palestinian militias in the Gaza Strip after five days of intense escalation that led to at least 35 deaths, mostly Gazans. , and extensive damage to the impoverished enclave.
