Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held separate telephone conversations with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan to coordinate on regional conflicts and the strengthening of bilateral strategic ties. In his call with Fidan, Abdelatty emphasised that the upcoming presidential visit would build on the recent momentum in Egyptian-Turkish relations, aiming to boost economic cooperation, trade volumes, and mutual investments. Addressing the conflict in Gaza with both his Turkish and Saudi counterparts, Abdelatty called for the establishment of a temporary Palestinian technocratic committee to manage the daily affairs of citizens in the strip. He further advocated for the deployment of an international stability force and the initiation of early recovery and reconstruction efforts. The minister expressed total rejection of any measures that undermine Palestinian territorial integrity or Israeli violations in the West Bank.
