What role did Egypt and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi play during the Israel-Hamas War?

Under Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt became a key mediator between Israel and Hamas during the Israel-Hamas War. He used Egypt’s long-standing relations with both sides to support ceasefire negotiations and hostage-prisoner exchanges. His administration also facilitated the delivery of humanitarian assistance into Gaza and repeatedly opposed the displacement of Palestinians into Egypt, which Sisi argued would threaten Egypt’s security and undermine efforts to establish a Palestinian state.
