CAIRO, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Saturday stressed the need to uphold the Gaza ceasefire to maintain regional stability.
In a phone call, they discussed preparations for a Cairo-hosted international conference in November on Gaza's recovery and reconstruction, with Abdelatty urging Türkiye's active participation and support. He also noted ongoing Egypt-Türkiye coordination in monitoring the truce alongside regional and international partners.
Both ministers agreed that closer diplomatic cooperation would strengthen security and advance their shared interests.
The ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, brokered by Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, and the United States, took effect on Oct. 10. Its first phase includes the exchange of prisoners and detainees, the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Despite the accord, both Israel and Hamas have accused each other of violating the truce. ■
