Badr Abdel Ati: The Greater Israel Project Will Not Come to Pass
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry affirmed that the recent developments since October 7, 2023, have demonstrated that attempts to impose dominance or redraw the map of the Middle East unilaterally will not succeed. He emphasized the importance of regional consensus among the countries of the area. He clarified that any future arrangements must be based on the collective will of the states, and that the project of a "Greater Israel" or reshaping the region will not succeed if it relies on imposing will unilaterally. He also confirmed that the Quad Regional Platform, which includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, is not a military alliance but rather a framework for consultation and coordination to promote cooperation and align positions on regional issues, including the Iranian-Israeli conflict and its repercussions. Shoukry highlighted that Egypt continues to coordinate with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other Gulf states to develop a shared vision for the future of the region, with the possibility of other countries joining. He stressed that it is important that any Palestinian arrangements regarding arms be within a Palestinian-Palestinian framework rather than handing weapons over to Israel. Finally, he warned of the dangers of Palestinian displacement and the ongoing deterioration of humanitarian conditions in Gaza, emphasizing the urgent need for intervention.
