Egypt and Russia Discuss Gaza Ceasefire, Reject ‘Parallel Entities’ in Sudan

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov discussed developments related to the Gaza ceasefire and rejected the establishment of ‘parallel entities’ in Sudan, Anadolu reports. The discussion took place over the phone, during which Abdelatty reviewed Egypt’s ongoing efforts to consolidate the Gaza ceasefire agreement and fully implement its provisions, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday. He emphasized the need to move to the second phase of the plan, covering political, developmental, and humanitarian aspects, to ensure sustained calm and regional stability. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, brokered by Turkiye, Egypt, and Qatar under US supervision, went into effect on Oct. 10, following a two-year Israeli war in Gaza.
