Egypt is planning to host a summit on the future of the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Egypt, which controls the Rafah border crossing, has closed it since Tuesday, preventing Palestinians and foreigners from leaving and aid trucks from entering. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's administration is focused on diplomatic efforts to deescalate the conflict and provide aid. Israel has warned north Gaza residents to flee to the south in anticipation of ground battles, raising concerns of potential resettlement in Egypt's Sinai peninsula. Egypt has strongly rejected this idea, emphasizing its commitment to national security.
