Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry held talks with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in Cairo on Sunday.
"It is imperative to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and to increase aid in the face of a catastrophic humanitarian situation," he declared.
Mr. Guterres, as is his custom, did not mention either the Israeli hostages or the surrender of the Hamas. The only solution to end the conflict.
These statements give the impression that the United Nations is encouraging the terrorist organization to continue the fight.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told his U.S. counterpart that military operations in the Gaza Strip have created conditions that would enable a hostage deal to be reached, Gallant's office said on Wednesday.
Egypt's total budget deficit fell to 505 billion Egyptian pounds ($10.5 billion) in fiscal 2023/24 that ended on June 30, compared with 610 billion pounds a year earlier, finance minister Ahmed Kouchouk said in a statement on Wednesday.
A meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Middle East was briefly interrupted on Wednesday when two protesters stood with signs and yelled for the release of Israeli hostages held by Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
