Abdelatty noted that the implementation of the commitments from the second phase of Trump’s peace plan is essential for the launch of a process of rapid recovery in Gaza and the start of reconstruction through an approach based on the real needs of the population.

Mladenov and Abdelatty agreed to continue coordinating and to step up consultations on developments in Gaza in support of efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region, the Egyptian Ministry said.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff announced last week the start of the second phase of the plan to end the conflict in Gaza, which includes the disarmament of the Palestinian group Hamas and a transitional technocratic Palestinian administration in Gaza.
