Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Saturday underscored the importance of ongoing coordination with Türkiye in following up on the stages of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.
In a phone call with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan, Abdelatty reviewed the outcomes of the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit and the resulting agreement to end the war in Gaza in line with U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan.
The two ministers discussed the course of Egyptian-Turkish relations and reaffirmed both sides’ commitment to building on the positive momentum in ties between the two friendly nations.
They emphasized the importance of enhancing cooperation mechanisms across political, economic and investment fields and advancing joint consultation and coordination on regional and international issues to serve mutual interests and promote stability in the region.
In this context, the ministers reviewed the outcomes of the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit and the resulting agreement to end the war in Gaza in line with the U.S. president’s plan.
They underlined the importance of consolidating the truce and ensuring stability and security in the region.
Minister Abdelatty stressed the need for the full implementation of the agreement’s provisions to secure a permanent ceasefire and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian, relief, and medical aid to Gaza.
He also highlighted the ongoing coordination between Egypt and Türkiye in following up on the agreement’s stages, in cooperation with regional and international partners.
Concluding the call, the two ministers discussed preparations for the upcoming International Conference on Early Recovery, Reconstruction and Development in Gaza, to be held in Cairo in November.
Abdelatty expressed Egypt’s aspiration for Türkiye’s active participation in the conference and its support for international efforts to rebuild Gaza and consolidate regional stability.
Türkiye played a pivotal role in brokering the negotiations that led to the Gaza ceasefire agreement, positioning itself as a central mediator in efforts to end the months-long conflict.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signed on Oct. 14 a four-nation declaration with Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, creating what he called an unprecedented international guarantee mechanism to prevent Israel from resuming attacks on Gaza.
Türkiye has emerged as Gaza's largest humanitarian provider, delivering 102,000 tons of aid—with 350 trucks entering since the ceasefire began.
The agreement mandates 600 daily aid trucks, which Erdogan said Türkiye is working to achieve.
He announced emergency container housing deployment before winter through the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD), Türkiye's disaster agency.
