Earlier on Wednesday, Blinken landed in Cairo for his 10th trip to the Middle East since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza.

The war has so far killed and injured over 130,000 Palestinians, mostly children and women, damaged most of Gaza’s infrastructure, and displaced the majority of the population.

After concluding his meeting with El-Sisi, Blinken headed to Tahrir Palace with Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty to inaugurate the Egypt-US Strategic Dialogue.
