He stressed the importance of continued international engagement and humanitarian support for the people of Palestine, and reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to a just and durable resolution of the Palestinian cause.
The summit, co-chaired by President Trump and Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, brought together leaders and top officials from over 20 countries and global organisations — including the United Nations, European Union, and Arab League — to endorse a peace agreement described by Egypt’s foreign ministry as a “historic document ending the war in the Gaza Strip.”
Two years of Israeli bombardment in Gaza have killed more than 67,869 people, according to Palestinian health authorities, with the toll continuing to rise as more bodies are recovered.
Earlier, Ishaq Dar met with Egypt’s Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty where both leaders exchanged views on the urgent need for peace, stability, and humanitarian relief in Gaza and Palestine.
