Trump Talks Gaza, Houthis With Egypt’s Sisi
United States President Donald Trump spoke with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi by phone to address several pressing regional matters, according to a post shared by Trump on TruthSocial. The conversation, which Trump described as having gone “very well,” focused primarily on the situation in Gaza and the ongoing conflict with Houthi forces in Yemen.
Trump emphasized the “tremendous military progress” made by the United States against the Houthis, who have been responsible for attacks on commercial and military ships in the region. The president highlighted that military preparedness and strategic solutions were part of the dialogue, though he did not elaborate on specific actions or agreements reached during the call.
The discussion on Gaza comes at a time of heightened tension, with the U.S. and its allies seeking ways to stabilize the area and reduce the risk of broader conflict. Egypt, a key regional player and mediator in Middle Eastern affairs, has frequently worked with the U.S. on diplomatic initiatives and crisis management efforts in Gaza.
The inclusion of military preparedness in the conversation suggests that both nations are considering a coordinated approach to address escalating threats in the region. Trump’s administration has taken a firm stance against Houthi aggression, viewing it as a proxy threat supported by Iran and a significant disruption to international maritime navigation.
While the White House has not released an official readout of the call, Trump’s brief public remarks indicate continued strategic coordination between Washington and Cairo. The two countries have maintained close ties on counterterrorism and regional security matters throughout Trump’s presidency.
No additional details were provided about follow-up actions or diplomatic efforts resulting from the conversation. However, the exchange reaffirms the importance of U.S.-Egypt collaboration in managing ongoing conflicts and maintaining regional stability.
