Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti, in Ankara on Wednesday, underscored the collaborative efforts between Egypt and Turkey to support the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Following discussions with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Abdel Atti noted that the talks also included the U.S. draft resolution concerning the establishment of an international stabilization force. He stressed the importance of maintaining the ceasefire to prevent any resurgence of military conflict.

Abdel Atti mentioned that ongoing conversations with Washington are focused on the logistics of deploying an international monitoring force to ensure compliance with the ceasefire.
