He invited Christodoulides to take part in the signing ceremony of the deal in Egypt, read the statement.
For his part, Christodoulides welcomed the deal, backed its implementation, and praised Egypt's efforts in this regard.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said earlier in the day that a summit will be held in Egypt's Red Sea resort city of Sharm El Sheikh, which will be co-hosted by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump. It did not specify the time of the summit.
The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas entered into effect on Friday, following three days of intensive negotiations in Sharm El Sheikh between the two sides mediated by Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and the United States. ■
