Russia and Egypt deepen ties through BRICS collaboration
Russian Ambassador to Egypt, Georgy Borisenko, highlighted the strong partnership between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Abdel Fattah El-Sisi during the
Egyptian, Israeli and US officials meeting in Cairo Sunday "ended" their discussions on reopening Gaza's Rafah crossing, state-linked Egyptian media said, without elaborating on the talks.
The Rafah crossing on the Egyptian border, a vital conduit for aid into the
besieged Gaza Strip where famine looms after nearly eight months of war, has
been closed since Israeli forces seized its Palestinian side in early May.
Al-Qahera News, which is linked to Egyptian intelligence, quoted a senior
official as saying that during Sunday's meeting, "the Egyptian security
delegation affirmed Israel's full responsibility for humanitarian aid not
entering the Gaza Strip."
