During the discussion, both Prime Minister Al-Sudani and President El-Sisi emphasized the urgency of taking immediate action to prevent further violence that could potentially destabilize the entire region. They stressed the necessity for the international community to halt racist policies and actively work toward safeguarding the Palestinian people’s right to live in their homeland.
Peaceful Resolution of Palestine Conflict
The urgent call for unity and peaceful resolution follows a shocking and unprecedented attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel.
