“We deliver a letter to Ambassador Yasser Ali Ragab Ali, sent by President Nicolás Maduro to the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, thanking his defense for the Palestinian people and mediation to achieve the ceasefire between Israel and Palestine”, Wrote the Venezuelan Foreign Minister through Twitter account @jaarreaza.

Currently, Egypt is the only country that has communication channels with both parties. One of its delegations was in Gaza on May 21, supervising the implementation of the cessation of practices that exacerbate tensions. In parallel, a team of Egyptian diplomats went to Israel to address the same point with the Israeli authorities.
