Abdel Fattah el-Sisi

Steven Cook, the Eni Enrico Mattei Senior Fellow for Middle East and Africa Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the visit of Egypt's President al-Sisi to Turkey, explore whether we are seeing relations between Turkey and Egypt turn a new page, and break down what this means for the region.

The Turkish-made Hürjet training aircraft performed a demonstration flight over the pyramids of Egypt on Sept. 4.

The developing ties and cooperation between Türkiye and Egypt will help to resolve regional problems, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said, recalling that the latest visit by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to Ankara has paved the way for further institutionalization of the bilateral relationship.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi visited Ankara on Sept. 4 for a landmark meeting with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, marking a significant step toward mending ties.

Erdoğan personally welcomed al-Sisi at Esenboğa Airport in the capital Ankara, and the two leaders traveled together to the presidential complex.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will hold talks with President Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey on Wednesday in the first presidential level visit in 12 years amid a warming of long-frozen relations between the regional powers.

The United States said Friday that progress had been made at the latest round of Gaza truce talks, after the presence of Israeli troops on the Egyptian border emerged as a major sticking point.

News reports state that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will visit Turkey on September 4 and meet with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, which is seen as another sign of Ankara's rapprochement with Cairo.

However, Turkey's reconciliation with Egypt is also of concern to Athens.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke with his American counterpart, Antony Blinken.

According to the Turkish representative, the call was made at the request of the American side.

Hamas on Tuesday condemned U.S. President Joe Biden's assertion that the group was withdrawing from a Gaza truce agreement , labeling his comments as a "green light" for Israel to continue its military actions.

The Palestinian militant organization stated that Biden's "misleading claims... do not reflect the true position of the movement, which is keen to reach a ceasefire" deal.
