Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi on Sunday called for an immediate Gaza ceasefire and the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid during talks with US envoy Massad Boulos in Cairo.

The two discussed efforts to restore regional stability. Sisi praised the joint mediation by Egypt, the US, and Qatar, reaffirming Egypt’s commitment to the process. Boulos confirmed continued US support for de-escalation, according to Xinhua.

The meeting coincided with indirect Israel-Hamas talks in Doha, as Israel seeks to end the fighting, free 58 hostages, and dismantle Hamas in Gaza.
