As part of his rapid-fire crisis tour, French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to meet with his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, in Cairo later on Wednesday, according to Macron’s office.
In the process of securing the release of over 200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, Egypt has been a key mediator.
Prior to departing for Egypt, Macron was scheduled to see King Abdullah II of Jordan in Amman. He had already met separately with Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.
