On Thursday, Safadi participated in the ministerial meeting hosted by Egypt, attended by the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, the Foreign Minister of Egypt, Sameh Shoukry, the Minister of State for International Cooperation in the UAE, Reem Al Hashimy, and the Secretary-General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hussein Al-Sheikh, along with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

The meeting discussed developments related to the Palestinian issue and the crisis in Gaza, efforts to achieve a complete ceasefire, increase humanitarian aid access throughout the strip, and implement Security Council Resolution 2720.

The meeting affirmed rejection of any attempts to liquidate the Palestinian issue or displace the Palestinian people from their land, as well as any military operation in Rafah, stressing the inevitability of implementing the two-state solution and establishing the Palestinian state according to international references.
