Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met yesterday (Monday) with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi in Sharm El-Sheikh. In their meeting, the leaders discussed a series of issues, including ways of deepening and strengthening cooperation between the countries, with an emphasis on expanding the scope of two-way trade, as well as regional and international issues.   

Prime Minister Bennett thanked President Al-Sisi for Egypt's important role in the region, pointing out that the peace agreement between the two countries that was signed more than 40 years ago continues to serve as a cornerstone of security and stability in the Middle East.   

"I have just finished a first visit with the President of Egypt. The meeting was very important and very good. During the meeting, first and foremost, we created a foundation for deep ties in the future," Bennett said.
