\u201cEgypt\u2019s vision for resolving the water crisis was based on benefiting all parties and fair use without harm to downstream countries,\u201d Abdelatty said. \u201cEthiopia violated international law and handled the water issue unilaterally.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who thinks Egypt will compromise on any existential threat is mistaken,\u201d Abdelatty warned on Ethiopia\u2019s Nile dam issue.<\/p>\n
He also condemned all unilateral actions that threaten Somalia\u2019s unity and sovereignty over its entire territory.<\/p>\n
Abdelatty also condemned the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and called for an immediate ceasefire. He criticised Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza and the West Bank, arguing that they have exposed the weakness and double standards of the international community. Abdelatty also stressed the need for reform within the UN system to effectively address global challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe condemn the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and call for an immediate ceasefire,\u201d Abdelatty said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsrael\u2019s brutal aggression in Gaza and the West Bank has exposed the weakness and double standards of the international community,\u201d Abdelatty said. \u201cThe legitimacy of the United Nations is at stake, and the global system needs reform to address the scale of challenges we face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abdelatty outlined Egypt\u2019s efforts to mediate a resolution to the conflict. \u201cEgypt and Qatar mediated for an agreement, but Israel obstructed the negotiations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Abdelatty also addressed the situation in Sudan, expressing Egypt\u2019s support for a political solution that ensures the unity and peace of the country and strengthens its institutions. He called for a political resolution in Libya that ends the transitional phase and paves the way for presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
