Israeli PM visits Egypt in first official trip in a decade

Bennett, the head of a far-right party who took office in June, was invited by Sisi last month. 

Bennett said the talks in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh covered diplomacy, security and the economy. "We created a foundation for a deep connection going forward," he said before the end of the visit.

In the discussions, Sisi cited Egypt's efforts to maintain calm in the Occupied Territories and the importance of international support for rebuilding efforts there, according to an Egyptian presidency statement.

Sisi also "affirmed Egypt's support for all efforts to achieve comprehensive peace in the Middle East, according to the two-state solution," the presidency statement said.
