El-Sisi reiterated Egypt's call for an immediate ceasefire to protect civilians and facilitate humanitarian aid.

On his part, Burns expressed his commitment to closely coordinate with Egypt to resolve the ongoing war.

Egypt not to host Palestinians in its territory

On October 13, El-Sisi refused to host Palestinians as refugees in its territory, saying that Egypt is already providing safety and security to "nine million guests, as I call them, from many countries who came to Egypt for security and safety".  

He mentioned that the situation of Gazans "is different" as their displacement would signify "the elimination of the (Palestinian) cause".  

In 1979, Egypt became the first Arab nation to establish diplomatic relations with "Israel," following a six-year war that concluded in 1973.
