Egypt's Sisi, Blinken discuss ways to move forward in Gaza ceasefire negotiations

By |

Sisi warned of the risk of the Gaza war expanding regionally in a way "difficult to imagine."

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met in Cairo on Tuesday to discuss ways to move forward in negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza, the Egyptian presidency said.

Sisi warned of the risk of the Gaza war expanding regionally in a way "difficult to imagine."

"The ceasefire in Gaza must be the beginning of broader international recognition of the Palestinian state and the implementation of the two-state solution, as this is the basic guarantor of stability in the region," he added.

Blinken was in Cairo, pushing for areas of possible progress on a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal in talks planned for later this week, with major areas of dispute left unresolved.
