None
Egyptian media sources reported Monday that US Secretary of State John Kerry will arrive in Egypt on Tuesday for an unplanned visit to meet with senior government officials about attempts to calm tensions between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The Egyptian foreign minister spoke with Kerry Sunday concerning Egypt's efforts to inspire a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. A source in the president's office spoke to the Egyptian newspaper Al-Watan Monday claiming that Kerry is expected to meet with recently elected President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi regarding the current escalations in Gaza, though there has been no official confirmation that this was true.
