Al-Safadi and his German counterpart discussed the efforts made to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza, and stressed the necessity of its continuation and progress within a comprehensive vision that ensures security, stability, and reconstruction in Gaza, and the creation of a genuine political horizon to achieve fair and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution.
