On the sidelines of the United Nations Security Council meeting on Palestine in New York, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry held discussions with his Hungarian counterpart, Peter Szijjarto.
Ahmed Abu Zeid, the official spokesperson for Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shared on the “X” platform that the two ministers discussed efforts to end the violence and escalation in Gaza, as well as the sustainable and secure delivery of humanitarian aid.
Minister Shoukry participated in the ministerial session of the Security Council, which was convened at the request of Brazil, holding the council’s presidency this month, to address the developments in the Middle East.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the world’s most enduring hostilities, with roots going back over a century.
The latest flare-up in Gaza is part of a long history of periodic escalations of violence.
International efforts to mediate peace have been ongoing, but a comprehensive solution remains elusive.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has been a matter of global concern, with many international bodies and human rights organizations calling for an immediate ceasefire and assistance to those affected.
