Kerry in Egypt

Egyptian President Abdul Fattah Al Sissi met US Secretary of State John Kerry at the Presidential Palace in Cairo yesterday. The US military is considering pulling out troops from a base in the northeastern part of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, partly because of the increasing threat from Daesh terrorists. The Obama administration may order the movement of some US troops into southern Sinai, and is discussing such a move with Egypt and Israel who signed a peace treaty in 1979.
