Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said Monday Cairo would press on joint efforts with the State of Qatar to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, stressing the need for the Security Council to assume its responsibilities to stop the systematic killing of the Palestinian people. In a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow, Abdelatty said that their bilateral talks earlier in the day addressed the joint efforts made by Egypt, the State of Qatar and the US to reach an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Egypt will continue tireless efforts with partners to reach a deal that guarantees the exchange of prisoners and the cessation of aggression, he said, stressing that the establishment of a Palestinian state is mandatory for regional stability.
