Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly is heading on Sunday to New York, where he will lead Egypt's delegation to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and deliver a speech at a high-level conference on Palestine. The Egyptian prime minister is representing President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the gathering, which comes at a moment of renewed international focus on the two-state solution as a framework for resolving the decades-long conflict. The conference is expected to bring together world leaders and diplomats to discuss ways to revive negotiations, stalled for years, and to promote a roadmap toward Palestinian statehood. During his visit, Madbouly will deliver Egypt's addresses at several high-profile sessions, including the UNGA opening, the 30th Anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, and the Conference on Palestine and Two-State Solution, a Cabinet statement said. The prime minister is expected to use the platform to highlight Cairo's diplomatic role as a key mediator in the region, particularly its efforts to broker ceasefire in Gaza and end the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Madbouly is also expected to hold bilateral meetings with world leaders and representatives of international organisations on the sidelines of the UNGA. Egypt has been a vocal proponent of a two-state solution, calling for the creation of a Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as the only viable path toward lasting peace.
