Leaders of Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, and Iraq are participating in the summit.
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is hosting a five-nation Arab summit on Monday, with the Ukraine war-related energy and food crisis on the agenda, as per a government newspaper.
El-Sisi, Emirati President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi, and the kings of Jordan and Bahrain, Abdullah II and Hamad, are set to meet in El-Alamein, northwest of Cairo on the Mediterranean coast, Al-Ahram reported.
Al-Ahram quoted a diplomatic source as saying that the dispute pitting Egypt and Sudan against Ethiopia over the Renaissance Dam on the Nile, as well as the war on Yemen, Syria, and Libya, and the latest Israeli aggression on Gaza earlier this month are on the agenda for discussion.
The Summit on Monday comes a month after a US-Arab summit in Saudi Arabia which was attended by US president Joe Biden and leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council, as well as Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq.
