STORYLINE:
Egypt’s top diplomat reiterated his country’s position on rejecting displacement of Palestinians at a press conference on Thursday.
Badr Abdelatty gave his remarks after meeting his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto in Cairo.
"There is no chance to achieve safety and stability for Israel or the region without the Palestinian people gaining their legitimate rights and the establishment of their country on the borders of 1967," said Abdelatty during a news conference following the meeting.
Israel resumed its war against Hamas in Gaza last month after an eight-week ceasefire collapsed.
The ceasefire brought a much-needed reprieve from the fighting to war-weary Palestinians in Gaza and sent an infusion of humanitarian aid to the territory.
It also led to the release of 25 living Israeli hostages held in Gaza and the return of the remains of eight others, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
Mediators have since attempted to bring the sides to a bridging agreement that would again pause the war, free hostages and open the door for talks on the war’s end, something Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he won’t agree to until Hamas is defeated.
Hamas wants the war to end before it frees the remaining 59 hostages it holds, 24 of whom are believed to be alive.
The war, which was sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on southern Israel, has seen the deadliest fighting between Israelis and Palestinians in their history.
It has ignited a humanitarian crisis in already impoverished Gaza, and has sent shockwaves across the region and beyond.
