The two ministers emphasized in the meeting the importance of halting the Israeli attacks on Gaza and Lebanon and putting an end to the resulting humanitarian crisis.

Safadi and Sheikh Mohammed stressed the continuation of joint work to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza and end the humanitarian catastrophe it is causing and launch a real effort to achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution and in accordance with the approved references.
