Egypt calls on Hamas and Israel to show 'flexibility' to reach truce in Gaza

Egypt has urged both Hamas and Israel to show "flexibility" to reach a truce in Gaza "as soon as possible," allowing for the release of hostages held in the Palestinian territory, according to a statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During a phone call with his American counterpart, Antony Blinken, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry emphasized the need for "achieving a ceasefire as soon as possible," the ministry said in a statement.

The statement added, "The two ministers agreed on the importance of urging the parties to show flexibility and make necessary efforts to reach a truce agreement that puts an end to the humanitarian tragedy and allows humanitarian aid to fully and sustainably enter the Gaza Strip to meet the urgent needs of its residents."
