According to the White House’s readout of the telephone call, Biden spoke with El-Sisi of Egypt to express his appreciation for Egypt’s efforts to reach the deal for the release of captives held by Hamas together with a humanitarian pause in Gaza. 

The White House already issued a statement earlier that President Biden had thanked Egyptian President El-Sisi and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Tuesday for their "critical leadership and partnership" in reaching a deal to secure the release of captives in Gaza.

“The President reiterated that under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, or the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,” the White House said in its statement.

According to the Egyptian Presidency, El-Sisi reiterated in the telephone call from the US President Egypt's efforts as part of its commitment to preventing bloodshed and achieving stability in the region.

He emphasized the need to build on the current humanitarian ceasefire to achieve a permanent cessation of hostilities, ensuring the delivery of required relief aid and fuel to all areas of the Gaza Strip.

Both presidents highlighted the importance of working towards a political solution to the Palestinian issue based on the two-state solution.

The White House stated that “under no circumstances can Gaza remain a sanctuary for Hamas where they can threaten Israel and Palestinians alike and  imperil any pathway to a durable peace.”

The two leaders also discussed coordination to further surge humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza. 

They agreed to remain in close contact over the coming days as the deal to release captives is fully implemented, according to the statement.
