“The meeting [between Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi] is a public display that this relationship is alive and kicking. There's obviously a real effort here from the Egyptians to show that they trying to build on and cement this relationship in a more public way. That is because they want to demonstrate to the Americans their concerns potentially about the changes in foreign policy towards Egypt from the Biden administration.
