The meeting was attended by Maher Boulos, the US President's Advisor on Arab and African Affairs; Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan; Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan; and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty.

The Iran-US Agreement and Its Regional Impact

Egyptian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Temim Halef stated in a declaration that the meeting involved an in-depth exchange of views on a number of regional files, including the Iran dossier. Halef noted that the 14-point memorandum of understanding reached between Iran and the US through Pakistani mediation was highlighted as a significant step, expected to contribute to reducing tensions and enhancing security and stability in the region.

On June 14, Iran and the US announced they had reached a memorandum of understanding aimed at stopping the war and resolving disputes between the parties through dialogue and negotiations. The agreement includes ending the war in Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and lifting the US naval blockade on Iran.

Libya and Palestine on the Agenda

The meeting also addressed the latest developments in Libya. Emphasis was placed on supporting efforts to preserve Libya's unity and sovereignty, advancing the political process, and the importance of unifying state institutions.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry also confirmed in a statement that regional issues, including Libya, were discussed at the Cairo meeting. Libya is experiencing a political division between the internationally recognized Government of National Unity, headed by Dbeibah and operating in Tripoli (west), and the government headed by Hamad, mandated by the House of Representatives in Benghazi (east).

According to a statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, the meeting also discussed developments in the Palestinian issue, particularly the recent situation in the Gaza Strip. Additionally, the situation on the African continent and ways to enhance joint cooperation and coordination to support security and stability on the continent were discussed.

In Gaza, a ceasefire agreement was reached following the war that began on October 8, 2023, and continued in various forms. The hostilities resulted in the deaths of over 73,000 people, injuries to more than 173,000, and the destruction of 90% of civilian infrastructure. The United Nations estimates that reconstruction costs could be around $70 billion.
