Egyptian-Turkish agreement to confront the Israeli occupation's decision to fully occupy Gaza.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti said today, Saturday, that he and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan confirmed the joint efforts of the two countries to confront the Israeli occupation's decision to fully occupy Gaza by all means. This came during a joint press conference for the two ministers in New Alamein City.

Abdel Atti explained that there is an agreement with Turkey regarding ways to deal with the crises facing the region, noting that relations between Egypt and Turkey are witnessing an important phase of strategic convergence.

He added: "I agreed with Minister Fidan to condemn Israel's decision to fully occupy Gaza, and we confirmed our joint efforts to confront this decision by all means."

For his part, the Turkish Foreign Minister described during the joint press conference the plan to fully occupy Gaza as "a new phase of Israel's expansionist and genocidal policy."

Fidan pointed out that, in his capacity as the current president of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, he decided to invite the member states to a meeting to discuss the Israeli plan to occupy Gaza.

Fidan emphasized that Turkey and Egypt will continue to stand against such scenarios, and he touched on the humanitarian aid sent from Turkey to Gaza, explaining that Turkey has sent to date about 102,000 tons of humanitarian aid to our brothers in Gaza.

Fidan also expressed his gratitude to Egypt for the close cooperation in delivering aid, noting that the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, via X platform, confirmed that the Egyptian and Turkish ministers held extensive discussions on files of bilateral cooperation to enhance Egyptian-Turkish relations.

The two ministers discussed developments in Gaza (Israeli genocide), Libya, Syria, Sudan, and the Horn of Africa, according to the same source.

Meanwhile, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in New Alamein, northwest of the country, according to a statement from the Turkish Foreign Ministry.

In the context of a genocide and a massive humanitarian disaster involving killing and starvation in the besieged sector, the announcement of the Israeli occupation's intention to occupy the city of Gaza and displace its residents to camps faced widespread international opposition and warnings of worsening humanitarian disaster in the sector, which has been subjected to unprecedented war for nearly two years.

The United Nations Security Council is holding an emergency meeting today, Saturday, to discuss the Israeli announcement.
