Kushner discusses Gaza plan with Egyptian President el-Sisi

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi discussed the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement with U.S. envoy Jared Kushner on Sunday in the coastal city of El Alamein. The Egyptian presidency announced that the meeting focused on the necessity for all parties to fulfill their commitments under the truce, which was reached during the Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit in October 2025.

The discussions also encompassed broader regional developments, with President el-Sisi emphasizing the importance of continued efforts to confront shared challenges. Both Cairo and Washington are committed to supporting regional and international security and stability, he stated. El-Sisi stressed the need to work towards resolving ongoing crises in the region to maintain stability and prevent escalating tensions.

This high-level meeting occurred shortly after Egyptian General Intelligence chief Hassan Rashad met with a Hamas delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya in El Alamein. Their discussions centered on the progress of negotiations and ways to advance the roadmap for the Gaza Strip. Cairo is currently engaged in rapid diplomatic efforts with relevant parties to solidify the ceasefire and implement understandings related to Gaza, despite persistent disagreements on several points of the agreement.
