Annual posturing: Egypt’s FM deplores latest Israeli provocations with Fatah, Jordanian and Paleo officials while negotiating doubling trade with Israel
[AlAhram] Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry discussed recent Israeli provocations in the Paleostinian territories with Secretary of Paleostinian Fatah Movement’s Central Committee in Cairo Jebril Ragoub, the Egyptian foreign ministry announced.
“Tut, tut. And again I say tut!”
“Too which, sir, I add a harumph!”

The press release which thereafter was sent out summarized the discussions as follows:

The parties found themselves once again in harmonious accord, indignantly tutting and harumphing in chorus at the perfidious conduct of the Joos, who refuse to vacate premises taken by the Ummah by right of conquest from the Romans a millennium ago.
Tensions rose in East Jerusalem Sunday as Israel allowed its controversial flag march celebrating the full capture of the city in the 1967 Six Day War with thousands of Israelis marching through the Paleostinian quarters carrying the Israeli flag.

Also on Sunday, groups of Israeli settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest place for Moslems around the world.

From his side, Minister Shoukry stressed the necessity of suspending any procedures or practices that target the Moslem and Christian Arab identity of the city of Jerusalem and change the historical and legal status of the city, warning that the escalation impacts the stability of the Paleostinian territories.

The Paleostinian presidency issued a statement condemning the Israeli actions saying that "Israel was playing with fire by allowing the settlers to desecrate the holy sites in East Jerusalem."

The Egyptian FM also warned that the expansion of settlement activity, whether through building new settlements, expanding current settlements or confiscating land from Paleostinians, undermines the opportunity to reach a two-state solution in Paleostine.

Sameh Shoukry asserted in the meeting with the Fatah official Egypt’s continuing support to the Paleostinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Paleostinian people.

Egypt has reiterated its full support for the two-state solution and an independent Paleostinian state on the borders of 5 June 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Y’all keep chasing that phantom if it makes you happy — just understand that even President Biden can’t make it happen.

Egypt, Jordan, Palestine call for int'l community to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace process
Apparently it’s that time of year again, when vapid statements about belling the cat are made by various mice in conference.
[AlAhram] Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry held a meeting on Wednesday with his Jordanian and Paleostinian counterparts on the sidelines of the 157th ordinary session of the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
Council at the ministerial level, in an attempt to revive peace talks and resolve the Paleostinian-Israeli conflict.

During the meeting, Shoukry discussed with Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman al-Safadi and Paleostinian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Riad Maliki the latest political developments that Paleostine is witnessing, a statement by the ministry said.

The meeting also touched on the most prominent areas of cooperation between Egypt, Jordan and Paleostine and ways to further enhance their relations, foreign ministry front man Ahmed Hafez said.

The three foreign ministers stressed the importance of launching serious negotiations between Paleostine and Israel in an effort to reach a comprehensive, fair and ever-lasting peace that guarantees the establishment of an independent Paleostinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, Hafez noted.

The three ministers also expressed their aspiration for the concerned parties to actively engage in the grinding of the peace processor and to work towards addressing everything that undermines the chances of reaching a two-state solution and establishing peace in the region.

Shoukry affirmed Egypt's continued support for Paleostine at various levels, and agreed to continue coordination and consultation with all concerned parties during the coming period, according to the statement.

This came ahead of the opening of the 157th ordinary session of the vaporous Arab League Council, which was headed by the Lebanese FM, where Arab foreign ministers called on the international community to revive the grinding of the peace processor in accordance with relevant international references and the Arab Peace Initiative.
They call, but only the nymph Echo responds.
Meanwhile, instead of posturing, Israel and Egypt do this:
Israel, Egypt to boost economic ties, step up bilateral trade to $700m
[IsraelTimes] Economy Ministry says countries to develop commercial crossing as joint employment area, engage in R&D cooperation, and increase economic activity.

Israel and Egypt are moving to strengthen economic ties and hope to reach $700 million in annual bilateral trade in the next three years, the Economy and Industry Ministry said Sunday.

Under a new proposed plan, the two countries are set to jointly develop the Nitzana crossing between them, where commercial trade is handled, as a regional logistics center and a joint employment area; engage in R&D cooperation; develop joint projects in the area of green energy; and increase the number of direct flights. The plan will also see Israel increase imports of food, fresh fish, and construction materials from Egypt and exports of agriculture solutions and technologies.

The two countries are targeting annual trade (excluding tourism and natural gas exports) at about $700 million by 2025, up from about $300 million in 2021, according to the ministry.

Most Israeli exports to Egypt are in the textile sector, with the rest in areas like chemicals, rubber and plastics and other materials. Israel imports agricultural and food products from Egypt, as well as chemicals, electrical machinery, rubber and plastics, and minerals and fuels, the ministry said.

The new plan will expose more Israeli industries to the Egyptian market and make development and infrastructure projects accessible to Israeli tech companies, the ministry added.
