Egypt Daily News – Prime Minister Muhammad Mustafa said, “The international coalition to support the two-delta solution must identify and apply concrete, irreversible tools, collectively or individually, against Israel. Such steps begin with a comprehensive ceasefire, lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip, and implementing United Nations resolutions, including That resolution 2334 (2016), resolution 2735 (2024) and accountability, thus paving the way for ending the illegal occupation and achieving the two-state solution.”
He added: “While we await the ceasefire, it is important to stress that it will not be acceptable for any entity to rule the Gaza Strip other than the legitimate Palestinian leadership and the government of the State of Palestine, and that any attempt to consolidate separation between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip or create transitional entities will be rejected.”
This came during his participation in the third meeting of the international coalition that aims to support the two-state solution and embody the Palestinian state, today, Wednesday, in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, with the participation of more than 80 countries and international organizations, to discuss ways to enhance humanitarian support for the Palestinians, especially in light of the tragic circumstances in Gaza. In addition to possible ways to revive the negotiation process and enhance support for UNRWA, which plays a pivotal role in providing basic services to Palestinian refugees.
Mustafa continued: “Gaza, after all this pain, needs a responsible government capable of healing the wounds of the Palestinian people, and reuniting Gaza with the rest of Palestine under one state, one government, one law, and one system. We should not leave Gaza in vain, but rather we must take action.” Rapidly towards relief, early recovery, reconstruction and peace.”
He added: “We, as the government of the State of Palestine, are ready to assume our responsibilities in the Gaza Strip as we did before, and we assure everyone that we are ready to implement UN Security Council Resolution No. 2735 and reunite the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip under one government. Accordingly, ministries and government institutions will resume.” The State of Palestine has full responsibility for providing public services to citizens and preparing for reconstruction and revitalizing the economy,” according to the Palestinian News and Information Agency (Wafa).
Mustafa said, “Your recognition of the State of Palestine is a step that leads us towards achieving just and lasting peace, and clarifies the importance of the two-state solution on internationally recognized borders and respect for security. Recognition confirms the importance of moving towards justice, peace, and the rights that must be supported.”
He expressed his appreciation for the efforts of all parties to consolidate the two-state solution, saying: “We are in complete darkness. The Palestinian reality under occupation is difficult due to the severity and cruelty of the situation, and the international community has failed to secure basic rights that must be preserved.”
He continued: The Palestinian people have been under aggression for decades, and for more than a year and a half, Gaza has been under genocide, and since the signing of the Oslo Accords, Israeli governments have been undermining the two-state solution, building colonies, turning their backs on international laws, and restricting the work of international institutions, especially UNRWA.
He called for rejecting all of Israel’s laws against UNRWA, because they undermine the rights of the Palestinians and the principle of the two-state solution and eliminate any hope of achieving peace.
He added: “There must be decisive and serious action and solidarity at the international level to achieve tangible progress to establish a two-state solution to confront the violations of the Israeli occupation, implement accountability and restore the path to the two-state solution and end the illegal Israeli occupation.”
Mustafa pointed out that the international coalition to implement the two-state solution, the Conference of the Supreme Contracting Parties, and the International Peace Conference scheduled to be held next June are interconnected pillars that together can dismantle obstacles to peace, impose accountability, and create the necessary conditions for a real political path.
