The President of Egypt and the King of Jordan, in a telephone conversation, stressed the need to fully implement the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

Why It Matters: After extensive wrangling and internal disputes among the Israeli regime's cabinet ministers, the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip began its implementation phase on Sunday afternoon, January 19.

During 471 days of war and devastation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli regime failed to achieve its declared objectives and was ultimately forced to accept defeat in the face of resistance and a ceasefire agreement.

 

 

What They Are Saying:

According to the Cairo News Agency, King Abdullah II of Jordan held a phone conversation with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, during which they discussed regional developments, particularly the situation in the Gaza Strip, the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, the prisoner exchange, and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

 

 

Key Points:

  • Al-Sisi and Abdullah II stressed the need for full implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and
  • The two leaders urge the inevitability of the rapid reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
  • Jordan and Egypt stressed the importance of achieving peace through a two-state solution.
  • Quds must be the capital of Palestine.
