El Sisi, Shoukry talk Gaza with US House Committee on Homeland Security

Gaza and national security topped the agenda of US House delegation’s visit: President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Foreign Minister both received a US House Committee on Homeland Security delegation led by Republican Rep August Pfluger yesterday to discuss areas of security and counter-terrorism measures, as well as the ongoing war Gaza and other conflicts in the region, according to an Ittihadiya statement.

Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry also called on the US to resume funding to UNRWA, after the US temporarily suspended funding to the UN organization for Palestinian refugees after Israel accused some of its members of participating in the October 7 attack on Israel, according to a Foreign Ministry statement.
