Ceasefire efforts between Palestinian factions, Israel stalled: Egyptian Minister
ISTANBUL (AA) – Egyptian efforts to broker a cease-fire deal between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza have stalled, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said Thursday.
“The Munich meeting represented an opportunity to review the efforts made to calm the military and field tension in the Palestinian Territories,” Shoukry said during his participation in the Munich formula on the peace process.
He said that Egypt’s efforts to broker a ceasefire deal between the Palestinians and the Israelis “have not yielded the desired results.”
Shoukry called on “the international community to intervene to stop the unilateral Israeli measures aimed at eliminating the two-state solution.”
At least 25 Palestinians have been killed and 76 others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza since Tuesday, according to the Health Ministry. Three leaders of Islamic Jihad group, their wives and children were among those killed in the attacks.
