Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi is convening an urgent meeting of the National Security Council to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip. The meeting comes amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas, with President Sisi calling Israel's response to Hamas' attacks as exceeding self-defense and reaching the level of collective punishment. President Sisi is also in talks to secure aid for Gaza. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently met with President Sisi in Cairo to discuss efforts to halt Hamas' terrorist attacks, secure the release of hostages, protect civilians, facilitate safe passage of American citizens, and ensure humanitarian aid reaches Palestinian civilians.
US continues to get the same response, more or less: Egypt's president El-Sisi stated during a meeting with Blinken that Israel's response to Hamas's attack had gone beyond self-defence and was infact collective punishment.
