Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and US President Donald Trump are slated to meet this week on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, the Egyptian presidency announced Tuesday. This marks their first face-to-face since Washington kicked off the second phase of its Gaza peace plan.
Their last meeting was back in October in Sharm el-Sheikh, where they signed a ceasefire deal aimed at halting the conflict in Gaza. That summit was a key moment in Middle East diplomacy, and the Davos meetup promises to build on that progress 🕊️.
During their catch-up in snowy Davos, the two leaders are expected to review regional and international developments, explore fresh ways to strengthen Egypt–US cooperation, and discuss initiatives to promote stability across the Middle East and beyond 🤝🌍.
- First face-to-face since the second phase of the Gaza peace plan
- Review of regional and global developments
- Focus on bilateral cooperation and stability initiatives
For young global citizens keeping an eye on Gaza, this meeting is a reminder of how diplomacy at high-profile forums can shape on-the-ground realities. It also highlights how countries in our region—South Asia and Southeast Asia—watch these developments closely, given links to energy prices, trade routes, and humanitarian concerns.
Stay tuned for updates as Sisi and Trump take the Davos stage. This could be a turning point in ongoing efforts to secure lasting peace in Gaza and forge stronger ties between Cairo and Washington.
