Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
The two leaders have not met in public since 2017.
President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi had reportedly expressed support for the idea during recent meetings with Arab leaders.
“His key role in securing the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel will remain forever etched in history.”
Cairo, wary of the impact of the Syrian regime’s collapse, is fighting what it says are subversive elements sharing archival protest videos via social media.
“It turns out that the Egyptians have been playing a double game.”
The Egyptian leader is scheduled to meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan amid warming ties between Cairo and Ankara.
Cairo wants the IDF to leave the border point before it lets aid into Gaza.
“This will help save lives,” the White House stated in its readout of the call.
Israel is being extremely careful to show deference to Egypt and el-Sisi and is fully aware of the sensitivities surrounding the Philadelphi Corridor.
Should the country’s troubles deepen further, the peace treaty with Israel which has held strong for 45 years could be in danger.
The U.S. president also spoke with Egypt’s head of state about the impending release of Israelis from Gaza.
Egypt’s president said the massacre of 1,400 Israelis was the result of “accumulated fury and hatred.”
