Additionally, he urged financial support for the government to assist it in fulfilling its obligations, achieving economic stability, and meeting the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

In recent days, Mustafa met with the German Foreign Minister, the French Consul General in Jerusalem, the Special Coordinator for the United Nations Peace Process in the Middle East, the Head of the American Office for Palestinian Affairs, and the Director of the United States Agency for International Development Mission.
