Blinken in Cairo for Gaza Talks

The USA's Foreign Minister Antony Blinken is in Cairo, Egypt, to once again discuss a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza War. The country's President Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi promises to increase his efforts to make such a reality.

During the meeting with President al-Sisi, he presented ideas on how Egypt, the USA, and Qatar can intensify their joint efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and achieve an exchange of hostages and prisoners, according to a statement from the presidential office.

The visit is Blinken's tenth in the region since the war broke out through the large-scale attack by terrorist-stamped Hamas against Israel on October 7 last year.

But it takes place in the light of reports in Israel that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will give opposition politician Gideon Sa'ar a new role in the country's government. It raises concerns among peace advocates, as Sa'ar is reported to be skeptical of the ceasefire talks.
