Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan met to discuss Israel's war in Gaza and seek to complete a broad bilateral agreement, the Saudi state news agency reported on Sunday.

The meeting in the Saudi city of Dhahran included reviewing "the semi-final version of the draft strategic agreements between the two countries, which are almost being finalized," a statement read.
The Crown Prince and Sullivan also discussed the need to find a "credible track for bringing about the two-state solution" for Israel and the Palestinians, and to stop the war in Gaza and facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid, the statement said.

Sisi Says ‘Inconceivable’ for Egypt to Stand by as Saudi Security and Stability Are Threatened

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Wednesday that Cairo's proposed military support for Riyadh was to "defend Saudi territory, and does not include an attack on Yemen," according to a statement from his office.

At a government event titled Egypt Forum 2026, Sisi said the "objective is to defend the Kingdom's lands and borders, as well as those of any other Arab state, should it be requested of Egypt," his spokesman said in a statement.

"Egyptian military operations do not extend beyond the borders of Egypt or those of any sisterly nation," he added.

Sisi on Saturday asked parliament to authorize support for Saudi Arabia in its war with the Houthis, "if requested".

He said it was "inconceivable" for Cairo to stand by as Riyadh's security and stability were threatened.

Egypt's parliament has since held two secret sessions and postponed deliberations until next week.

This week again Egypt's foreign minister Badr Abdelatty has been in contact with Iran's top diplomat Abbas Araghchi, who has said that Egypt's potential involvement would make the situation "more difficult".
