Egyptian Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty affirmed that the situation in the Middle East is on the brink of explosion, stressing that Egypt rejects any scenarios of forced displacement of the Palestinian people and that the continued violations of the Israeli occupation threaten the foundations of peace.
In a speech at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, the Egyptian Foreign Minister said the multilateral international system is in a state of unprecedented fluidity, its mechanisms are collapsing, and its credibility is eroding due to crimes committed under the watchful eye of the international community, which is content to play the role of spectator to the systematic violations taking place.
He added that the Middle East stands on the brink of explosion, as all elements of peace, security and stability are absent, there is little respect for international legitimacy, and the brotherly Palestinian people are falling victim to the most heinous Israeli practices. He pointed out that the hands of the Israeli aggression have extended, in a frenzy of power and lack of accountability, to the countries of the region one after the other, and the latest episode was the treacherous aggression against the sisterly State of Qatar.
Dr. Abdelatty explained that since the outbreak of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, Egypt has devoted all its efforts to achieving a sustainable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, in partnership with Qatar and the US, and to resuming uninterrupted flow of aid to confront the current famine, which is of Israeli origin.
He pointed out that Egypt affirmed that reforming the UN and international financial institutions is no longer an option that can be postponed, but rather an urgent necessity to ensure fair and balanced representation in international decision-making mechanisms.
