PM Madbouly tells UN: Egypt to host Gaza reconstruction talks after ceasefire

ChatGPT said:

Egypt will host an international conference on Gaza reconstruction once a ceasefire is in place, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said on Monday at the United Nations in New York. The initiative aims to mobilise funding for the Arab-Islamic plan in coordination with the Palestinian government.

Speaking on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the UN High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, Madbouly said the plan seeks to help Palestinians stay on their land and recover from the widespread destruction caused by the conflict. He urged international partners to support early recovery and rebuilding efforts as part of efforts to make the two-state solution a reality.

Madbouly reaffirmed Egypt’s rejection of any forced displacement of Palestinians, calling such acts ethnic cleansing, and condemned Israel’s ongoing aggression in Gaza and the wider region. He warned that attacks on Qatar, which is working with Egypt in mediation, set a dangerous precedent.

The prime minister stressed that Middle East stability depends on an independent Palestinian state based on the 4 June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. He welcomed the UN General Assembly’s adoption of the New York Declaration as historic and called for immediate, unconditional recognition of Palestine by all remaining states.

Madbouly also cited the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry, which confirmed Israel’s actions in Gaza met the material and moral definitions of genocide against civilians.

Concluding his address, Madbouly said the region stands at a decisive crossroads: either establishing a just and lasting peace that offers hope or remaining trapped in cycles of conflict and instability.
