Egypt launches diplomatic offensive on Gaza

Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty is on his way to Washington and the country is calling for an Arab summit. On the agenda is "regional development", and the US's latest move on the Gaza Strip is in focus.

According to Egypt's Foreign Ministry, the visit will "strengthen the bilateral relations and the strategic partnership between Egypt and the USA". Abdelatty will also hold "consultations with US officials on the regional development" in the Middle East.

The Foreign Ministry announces simultaneously that Egypt will host a summit with Arab countries due to the recent developments regarding the Palestinian territories.

At the hastily convened summit on February 27, the countries will discuss "the latest serious developments". The phrase is assumed to refer to US President Donald Trump's statement that his country will "take over" the Palestinian Gaza Strip after the war.
