CAIRO – 10 October 2023: Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, thanked on Wednesday President Abdel Fattah El Sisi for Egypt's role and its esteemed efforts to facilitate the arrival of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
During a phone call, Guterres expressed his keenness to continue consulting with the President regarding developments pertinent to the escalation in the Gaza Strip and the military confrontations between the Palestinians and Israelis, in light of the rapid developments posing a threat to regional stability.
Both sides reviewed the ongoing contacts and action at the international and regional levels to restore calm and reduce tension, stressing the importance of avoiding the expansion of the conflict, and allowing room for diplomatic efforts to protect civilians and to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.
