Egypt President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and US President Joe Biden underlined the necessity of containing the Palestinian-Israeli conflict so that it doesn't threaten regional security, Sisi's office said on Monday.
Both leaders also agreed in a phone call that it is a priority to protect civilians and deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian Gaza enclave, an Egyptian presidency spokesman said in a statement.
Biden also held a call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in advance of Scholz’s travel to Egypt and Israel, the White House said on Monday.
Biden then spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani as he worked to contain the Israeli conflict.
