Arab foreign ministers to meet with Blinken in Cairo

Arab foreign ministers and a senior Palestinian official are set to meet with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Cairo on Thursday.

This meeting is part of Blinken's efforts to secure a ceasefire in the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, during his current trip across the region.

According to a note from the Egyptian foreign ministry, Blinken is scheduled to hold meetings with the foreign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan, in addition to the Emirati minister of international cooperation and the secretary general of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation.

The note did not specify the agenda for the meeting. However, Egyptian security sources mentioned that Arab countries would introduce proposals for a political resolution to the Israel-Palestine war.
