In the recent past, Egypt and the UAE have grown relationships with Russia. But both the nations had also joined a UN General Assembly vote to call for an end to its invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.
The development of meeting between Bennett and el-Sissi has also been confirmed by Egyptian and Israeli officials.
The trio look to discuss a range of regional topics, like Iran nuclear talks, etc, an Egyptian official said on condition of anonymity.
The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi’s visit was reported by Emirati state news.
The de facto leader of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) arrived at the Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh and met el-Sissi at the airport, the report said.
