New French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne arrives in Egypt at the start of a Mideast tour expected to take him to Jordan, Israel and Lebanon in the coming days.
Sejourne, at the start of his first such tour since being sworn in as foreign minister last month, says on social media that he told Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of France’s desire “for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and restarting talks for a… two-state solution.”
