Blinken meets Sisi in Egypt to seek end to Gaza war

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday held talks with Egyptian President El-Sisi in Cairo, as part of a Middle East crisis tour seeking a new truce and end to Israel-Hamas war.

This is Blinken’s fifth regional tour since the bloodiest ever Gaza war broke out, to meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a day after he held talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh.
