Ahead of a high-level international summit on the Gaza ceasefire, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi declared on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump is “the only one capable of bringing peace” to the region.
“You are the only one capable of bringing peace to our region,” Sisi told Trump during their meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh, the Red Sea resort city in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula.
The meeting took place shortly before the opening of a major summit on the future of the Gaza ceasefire, co-hosted by Egypt and the United States. The summit brings together 31 leaders from various countries and international organizations, all seeking a sustainable political solution to the ongoing crisis.
The Egyptian president’s remarks highlight Cairo’s continued strategic positioning as a key mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and its growing alignment with Trump’s potential return to international diplomacy.
Human Rights Watch has accused an Abu Dhabi-based security company of recruiting Colombian private military contractors and deploying them to fight alongside Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) between 2024 and 2025, adding to what the rights group describes as a growing body of evidence of Emirati military support for the paramilitary group.
Farmers across Sudan say the hike in global fuel and fertilizer costs resulting from the Iran conflict will force them to cut back on planting this summer, restricting food production in a country where war has caused acute hunger.
In a post published Monday on Truth Social, President Donald Trump issued what amounts to a sweeping diplomatic ultimatum to the Arab and Muslim world: normalise with Israel through the Abraham Accords, or forfeit any role in the Iran agreement he is working to finalise.
