Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Tuesday said that Egypt would not accept any solution of regional issues at its expense.

The minister made the remarks during a meeting with tribesmen in North Sinai's city of El-Arish.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Arabic): MOSTAFA MADBOULY, Egyptian Prime Minister
"Egypt will not allow the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to expand whether at Egypt's expense or at the expense of other countries. This message should be clear to the whole world. The only solution to solve the issue acknowledged by the whole world is a two-state solution."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Arabic): DIAA RASHWAN, Head of Egyptian Information Service
"What Egypt is calling for now is the immediate ceasefire and continued opening to the aid to the Palestinian people who have been besieged for 16 years up to now."

Later in the day, Madbouly visited the only border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip and inspected the process of delivering humanitarian aid to the Palestinian coastal enclave.

Since the first convoy of 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing on Oct. 21, about 250 trucks loaded with relief supplies have entered the Palestinian territory, according to Egyptian official data.
