During a phone call, the two ministers discussed ongoing efforts to de-escalate the dangerous regional tensions and emphasized the need to support initiatives aimed at reaching a comprehensive agreement that addresses the root causes of the crisis, respects the sovereignty and security of all states, and guarantees freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with international law.
The ministers also stressed the urgent need for a ceasefire and renewed negotiations as the path toward ending the crisis.
Safadi and Abdelatty also discussed developments in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, emphasizing the importance of implementing all elements of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan aimed at stabilizing Gaza.
They warned of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza resulting from Israeli restrictions on the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid, calling for those restrictions to be lifted and for greater international efforts to ensure the population's humanitarian and medical needs are met.
The two ministers also condemned what they described as Israel's illegal measures in the occupied West Bank, saying they further entrench the occupation in violation of international law and represent a dangerous escalation threatening regional peace and stability.
They further warned against Israeli actions aimed at altering the historical and legal status quo of Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem, calling for effective international action to halt such measures, which both countries said constitute violations of international law and Israel's obligations as the occupying power.
Safadi and Abdelatty reiterated that the two-state solution remains the only viable path to achieving a just and lasting peace through ending the occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international law.
