This will serve as a valuable step towards international efforts towards creating a political horizon eventually leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Egypt called on countries that have not yet taken this step to move towards recognizing the State of Palestine, upholding the values of justice and fairness and supporting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people who have suffered under Israeli occupation for more than seven decades.
