The three partners issued a statement announcing that
representatives of the three countries’ foreign ministries followed up on the
endeavors the three countries have exerted in the past few days to
"advance joint efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in the occupied
Palestinian territories, especially in the Gaza Strip."
Meanwhile, the diplomats "reiterated their commitment
to the two-state solution in accordance with international law and agreed on
terms of references, as the only solution that guarantees the rights of all
parties. They also stressed the importance of ending all unilateral measures
that undermine the two-state solution and the chances of peace, and the need to
preserve the status quo in the holy sites in Jerusalem," according to the
statement.
Following a Paris meeting on May 18 between His Majesty King
Abdullah, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and French President Emmanuel
Macron, it was announced that Egypt would allocate $500 million for rebuilding
efforts in the Gaza strip following Israeli air strikes, Reuters reported on
May 18.
Egyptian companies will participate in the rebuilding
operations, according to the statement that followed the meeting, cited by the
agency.
Hundreds of buildings were destroyed in 11 days of Israeli
raids against the densely-populated Gaza Strip and tens of thousands were left
homeless before an Egypt-brokered ceasefire went into effect.
