CAIRO – 11 March 2021: Foreign ministers of Egypt, France, Germany and Jordan wrapped up their meeting in Paris where they discussed efforts to push forward the Middle East peace process in a bid to reach comprehensive and just peace. The UN special envoy to the Middle East and the EU special representative for the Middle East peace process were present. They also agreed that the policy of settlement expansion, confiscation of Palestinian lands and property are considered a flagrant violation of the international law and undermine the two-state solution. In December, a quartet committee between the foreign ministers of Egypt, France, Germany and Jordan convened in Cairo to discuss the ways of reviving the peace negotiation between Israel and Palestine as it has been suspended since April 2014. On January 6, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry held talks over the phone with Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi in the preparation for the meeting, according to a statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.
