He called on Trump to “rein in the extremist ambitions of the Israeli government“ aimed at thwarting the peace initiative in Sharm El-Sheikh, referring to the US president‘s 20-point Gaza plan announced in September 2025.
The plan includes a ceasefire, a prisoner exchange, a phased Israeli withdrawal, a transitional Palestinian administration and the reconstruction of Gaza.
Fahmy also urged Trump to stop repeated Israeli violations in occupied East Jerusalem and attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
He accused the Israeli government of seeking to “completely eliminate the Palestinian presence“ by expanding illegal settlements and continuing displacement plans.
The Arab League chief also called for “a swift return“ to the understandings between the US and Iran and the resumption of negotiations aimed at ending the conflict, restoring regional stability, respecting the sovereignty of neighbouring countries and reopening Gulf and Red Sea waterways to safe navigation.
