“The cease-fire in Gaza must be the beginning of wider international recognition of the Palestinian state and the implementation of the two-state solution”
On the danger of the war in Gaza expanding regionally in a way ‘that is hard to imagine” warned Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, in Cairo, where he met with Blinken.
“The cease-fire in Gaza must be the beginning of wider international recognition of the Palestinian state and the implementation of the two-state solution, as this is the main guarantor of stability in the region,” he added.
Blinken is in Cairo from Tel Aviv, where he met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to press for progress in talks on a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza during planned negotiations for later this week, although important issues remain unresolved.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met today in Cairo to discuss ways to advance negotiations for a cease-fire in Gaza, while at the same time, Hamas described US President Joe Biden’s statements as a “green light” for the continuation of the waraccording to which the Islamist Palestinian movement is “backtracking” on truce negotiations.
These “false claims (…) do not reflect the true position of the movement, which wishes to reach a cease-fire agreement,” Hamas said in a statement it issued, denouncing an “American green light to the extremist Zionist government to commit more crimes against civilians.”
