Blinken then flew to Cairo, where he said he had “a very good conversation” with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, whose administration has repeatedly brokered truces between Hamas and Israel.Egypt was the first Arab country to make peace with Israel, in 1979, and has been one of the top recipients of US assistance since.
The crown prince also reiterated the Gulf kingdom’s condemnation of attacks on civilians while stressing the need for Palestinians to “obtain their legitimate rights and achieve just and lasting peace”. There was no word on the US’s calls on Egypt to take in refugees, which Sisi has rejected, citing fears that mass displacement would mean the “eradication of the Palestinian cause” and insisting Gazans “remain on their land”.
