Egyptian FM calls for 2-state solution

By Associated Press in Jerusalem | China Daily | Updated: 2016-07-12 08:04

Egypt's foreign minister paid a rare visit to Israel on Sunday, saying that his country remains a "steadfast and unwavering" supporter of a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians but warning that conditions for achieving that are deteriorating.

Sameh Shoukry's trip was the first official visit to Israel since 2007 and reflected the strong but low-profile ties that have developed between the two countries in recent years. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said Shoukry's visit was aimed at reviving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Peace efforts have made no headway since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office in 2009. The last round of US-led talks broke down two years ago after the sides could not agree on the contours of a future peace deal.
