In an exclusive interview with CGTN, Egypt's former Assistant Foreign Minister Youssef El-Sharkawy described the recent Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement as a significant achievement for the Palestinian people. However, he emphasized that its success depends on effective implementation.

El-Sharkawy called for the deal to be formalized as a binding treaty or a UN Security Council resolution, supported by guarantors such as the United States, Middle Eastern nations, and potentially China, to ensure full compliance.
