Blinken meets Sisi in Egypt to discuss Gaza ceasefire negotiations

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on Tuesday to discuss ways to move forward with Gaza ceasefire negotiations, Reuters reports.

Sisi warned of the risk of having the Gaza war expand regionally in ways "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.
