Abu Bakr emphasized the critical importance of ongoing coordination between Arab countries and Japan to bolster the resilience of the Palestinian economy. This comes in response to the continuous Israeli attacks and devastation in Gaza, which have severely impacted essential infrastructure and livelihoods. He also denounced Israeli actions in the West Bank, including land confiscations and settlement expansions, which undermine Palestinian capabilities.

Egypt’s comments come after the failure of the recent round of indirect Cairo-host negotiations between the Hamas Movement and Israel to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and a prisoner swap deal. Israel’s KAN reported that according to Palestinian sources, in Egypt, there is still reluctance to announce the collapse of negotiations for the exchange deal.
