CAIRO – 19 January 2023: Egypt has called for halting all unilateral measures that undermine the two-state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict in a statement delivered during a quarterly open debate held by the UN Security Council on the Palestinian cause. Egypt has called for stopping unilateral actions undertaken by Israel, warning against such unilateral actions, including Israel's continued settlement activities, violence acts against Palestinian civilians and demolition of Palestinian homes. Egypt also underlined the need of avoiding measures that would change the legal status quo of the West Bank, including Jerusalem, which is considered an occupied Palestinian territory. Egypt called on all parties to exercise self-restraint, act responsibly and refrain from any measures that could inflame the situation. The three leaders stipulated the importance of preserving the rights of the Palestinian people, and reaching a fair, comprehensive and permanent solution to the cause.
