Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met in Cairo on Sunday, October 15, to discuss the Hamas attack on Israel and Israel’s ongoing military response in the Gaza Strip.

The Egyptian president’s office said the “two sides underscored commitment to strengthening and deepening the longstanding strategic partnership” between the countries and “discussed developments in the region and the military escalation in the Gaza Strip.”

Blinken said the US stands “with and for innocent civilians” who are the primary victims of Hamas violence and wants to prevent the conflict from spreading. Credit: Egyptian Presidency via Storyful
