U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Egypt this week, marking his 10th trip to the Middle East in an intense effort to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Amidst the backdrop of a nearly year-long conflict and upcoming U.S. elections, Blinken's discussions will focus on securing a ceasefire and the release of hostages. The visit underscores the Biden administration's commitment to reviving stalled peace talks, despite the absence of a planned stop in Israel and growing skepticism about reaching an agreement before the end of President Joe Biden's current term. Blinken's trip highlights the critical role of Egypt as a key regional partner in these negotiations, as both sides face significant challenges over military positions and prisoner exchanges.
