Durbin Meets With Egyptian Foreign Minister Shoukry And Ambassador Zahran To Discuss Conflict In Gaza And Reopening Of Its Hospitals
Statement
Issues: Foreign Aid
"Egypt is a critical voice in the Middle East and is to be commended for its role in getting humanitarian aid into Gaza. During today's meeting, we discussed the enormous ongoing humanitarian, security, and post-conflict governance challenges involving Gaza, as well as the importance of a long term two state solution. We also discussed options for helping reopen secured Gaza hospitals under the supervision of a neutral third party that could allow for the treatment of civilians to resume. Any such move will require all sides to agree to end hostilities in and around the hospitals, which I hope can occur without delay."
