Rubio expressed the United States’ eagerness to intensify and continue joint coordination with the Egyptian side in the coming phase, praising Egypt’s leading role in achieving peace and stability in the region.

For his part, Abdel Aty expressed appreciation for the sincere efforts of the US president to stop the war in Gaza, expressing Egypt’s hope for a swift end to the war on the Gaza Strip, de-escalation, and restoring calm, stability, and security in the region.
