Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi met this afternoon at his Cairo palace with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia (Prince Faisal bin Farhan), Pakistan (Ishaq Dar), and Turkey (Hakan Fidan), along with his own foreign minister, as Cairo steps up its role in mediating between the United States and Iran.
During the meeting, Sisi stressed that the four countries should coordinate to support the implementation of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) announced earlier this month, while also advancing a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue. The gathering signals the expansion of the mediating circle beyond the core US-Iran channel, as Cairo hosts a follow-up to the initial discussions that included the US adviser on Arab and African affairs, Massad Boulos, earlier in the day, as The Zioneer reported at 11:26 Jerusalem. Additional mediation efforts by Qatar, Pakistan, and Turkey have been active for weeks.
The talks come as multiple regional players seek to translate the April MOU into a broader regional arrangement. The meeting's specific outcomes have not yet been detailed.
