Egypt’s role in the Gaza crisis: Exclusive interview with the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General
In an exclusive interview with Al-Masry Al-Youm at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric, highlighted Egypt’s crucial role in supporting the Palestine and the resolution of the crisis in Gaza.
Dujarric also warned of the dangers of escalating Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip and called for an end to the war.
As the Gaza Strip faces a collapse of the social system and famine, Dujarric praised the efforts of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). to help those in need during this critical time.
What is Egypt’s role in supporting the Gaza issue?
Egypt plays a vital role in supporting the Palestinian cause in general and in resolving the crisis in Gaza, particularly at this critical time. This was confirmed by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres during his recent visit to Egypt in Rafah and Al-Arish.
Egypt is therefore considered an essential actor in the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
How is the UN working to end the war in Gaza?
We seek to end the war in Gaza, which has cost the lives of many of our employees, all of Palestinian origin and working in the service of humanity. We do not have the power to end the war, but we have called for a ceasefire and will continue to do so.
What is the solution then?
The only way to end the conflict between Palestine and Israel is the two-state solution and a return to negotiation.
In conclusion, it is clear that Egypt has a crucial role to play in resolving the crisis in Gaza, while working closely with the United Nations to find peaceful and lasting solutions. Under the leadership of the international community, a positive outcome to this conflict could be found by promoting dialogue and respecting the rights of civilians affected by this crisis.
