Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi had a telephone conversation with U.S. President Joe Biden about the situation in Gaza. Biden expressed his appreciation to el-Sisi for Egypt's mediation efforts, and the two leaders agreed that international efforts should be intensified to ensure the success of the negotiation process and achieve a breakthrough that would "end the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza." Additionally, el-Sisi and Biden agreed on the temporary transfer of humanitarian aid through the Kerem Shalom crossing until the Rafah crossing resumes operations from the Palestinian side.
