Egypt and its Mediterranean allies, Greece and Cyprus, have moved to accelerate the GREGY electrical interconnection project and coordinated on a roadmap for Gaza’s reconstruction, including support for a technocratic committee to manage the territory. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty announced the developments on Sunday following a series of bilateral and trilateral political consultations in Cairo with Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis and Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos. The Egyptian minister emphasised that this committee must immediately assume governance and daily administrative duties for Palestinians while maintaining the organic link between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. A central pillar of the diplomatic discussions was the advancement of the GREGY electrical interconnection project between Egypt and Greece. Abdelatty described the project as a significant shift in bilateral relations that would bolster European energy security and support the transition toward a green economy.
