Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met Monday evening with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi as part of Bennett's state visit to Egypt.
During Bennett's visit, Al-Sisi also welcomed Mohammed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.
the three leaders are expected to hold a trilateral summit, against the backdrop of progress in Vienna towards a new nuclear deal with Iran, bringing the US back into the nuclear agreement.
This is Bennett’s second visit to Egypt in the last six months.
Last week, Israel and Egypt agreed to expand air travel between the two countries, including the establishment of a new direct air route between Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport and Sharm el-Sheikh in the southern Sinai Peninsula.
Flights on the new route are expected to begin next month, during the Passover festival.
