Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and US President Donald Trump will hold a high-profile meeting on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency on Tuesday. The talks mark their first face-to-face engagement since Washington initiated the second phase of its Gaza peace plan earlier this month.
The leaders last met in October 2025 during a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, where they signed a ceasefire agreement aimed at de-escalating hostilities in the region. Analysts suggest the Davos meeting will focus on consolidating progress made under the US-backed initiative while addressing broader security challenges.
Key agenda items include strengthening Egypt-US economic partnerships, particularly in energy and infrastructure, and coordinating responses to regional instability. The discussions occur amid heightened global attention on Middle Eastern diplomacy following recent multilateral efforts to stabilize conflict zones.
