On Monday Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi told Israel’s new leader it was important to follow through on Egypt-backed efforts to rebuild the Gaza Strip following last month’s fighting there, the Egyptian presidency said.
In his first phone call with Naftali Bennett since Bennett took office two weeks ago, Sisi stressed Egypt’s support for efforts to reach a fair and permanent solution between the Palestinians and Israelis, Egypt’s presidency said.
Sisi stressed the importance of supporting an Egyptian drive to help rebuild the Gaza Strip after last month’s fighting between Israel and the Hamas Islamist group which controls it.
