According to Axios, citing a US official and an Israeli source, the White House is ready to mediate a summit between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The meeting was scheduled to take place in Egypt but was postponed due to disagreements over the format. The US is working to bring the two countries closer, while Egypt insists on holding high-level talks. Israel, for its part, prefers to negotiate at the intelligence chiefs' level. The White House hopes to overcome these disagreements and organize a meeting that would be a significant step in normalizing relations between Israel and Arab nations.
