The US House Committee on Ways and Means was in town: Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly met with a delegation from the US House Committee on Ways and Means — the guys in charge of directing tax and tariff policies — led by chairman Jason Smith in the new capital today, according to a cabinet statement.

Economic cooperation and the war on Gaza topped the agenda: The American delegation stated their intent to increase trade and investment and asked the prime minister about ways to support the country’s green hydrogen plans, food security, water security, and how to deepen education cooperation. The meeting also discussed the need to strengthen bilateral ties in a bid to bolster peace and security amid ongoing international crises and Madbouly stressed the need for a "just and lasting solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on a two-state solution.
