First phase of Gaza peace plan nearly complete - Egypt

The implementation of the first phase of the Gaza agreement is in its final stages, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty said.

"Now we are in the final stages in the implementation of phase one [of the Gaza plan]," Badr Abdel Aty said.

According to him, the peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump is now the "only game in town" for a settlement. The diplomat said they should work on making this plan a successful work implemented on the ground.

"What we have to do now is, of course, to make sure that the two parties will implement, faithfully, and in good intention, the agreement of Sharm el Sheih," Badr Abdel Aty said.

The Egyptian minister noted there are responsibilities for each part.
