Kerry in Cairo to talk Mideast peace, Libya

None

US Secretary of State John Kerry landed in Cairo on Wednesday for talks with Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Libya and to explore a proposal by the Egyptian leader to try to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

 

Kerry's brief Cairo stop follows a series of international meetings in Vienna on ways to end conflicts in Libya and Syria.

 

A U.S. official said Kerry wanted to explore in more detail a proposal on Tuesday by Sisi to mediate a reconciliation between rival Palestinian factions to pave the way toward a lasting peace accord with the Israelis.
