Israeli PM Bennett visits Egypt on invitation of el-Sisi

First official trip by an Israeli PM to Egypt for a decade comes amid an uptick of Israeli violence in Palestine.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will meet Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for talks expected to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the first official trip by an Israeli leader to Egypt in a decade. Bennett, the head of the far-right Yamina party who took office in June, was due to meet the Egyptian president on Monday in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsula. The discussions are expected to address “ways and efforts to revive the peace process” between Israel and Palestine, Egypt’s presidency said in a statement.
