No one is in a better place than Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who can use Egypt’s indispensable role to advance the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, starting with the establishment of a Gaza war endgame.
Arab states unveiled a $53 billion Gaza plan - but the US, Israel, and Hamas remain unconvinced.
Cairo stages public opposition to Gaza displacement while leading efforts to clear rubble and plan for reconstruction.
Sisi met with World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder and Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein to discuss improving access of humanitarian aid to Gaza and maintaining the ceasefire.
It's unclear if the two discussed Trump's call for the transfer of Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan.
Egyptian security sources told Reuters that parties close to Sisi had sent buses to ferry protesters to the border crossing.
Egypt and Jordan made it clear in official statements on Sunday that they oppose initiatives to transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
Sisi also said that talks should resume within ten days of implementing the temporary ceasefire in an effort to reach a permanent one.
Despite claims that Abbas Kamel was removed for health reasons, some speculate Sisi's deputy was replaced on other grounds.
Historically, Saudi Arabia and Egypt were the two pillars of stability for the region, and both are friends of the United States.
