US President Donald Trump had a positive conversation with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, discussing issues such as Gaza and military progress in strikes against Yemen's Houthi insurgents. Trump previously proposed the mass displacement of Gaza's population for real estate development. Egypt has its own plan for Gaza's reconstruction, which was rejected by the US. The US has recently carried out airstrikes on the Houthis to stop their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
