Egypt<\/p>\n
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi called for<\/a> the continued flow of humanitarian aid to the nearly 2.3 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. Sisi has also been a proponent of reviving the peace process to allow for Palestinian statehood. Egypt hosted the Gaza Peace Summit<\/a> last year, which included regional leaders and U.S. President Donald Trump. As of February 2026, Egypt had provided more than eight hundred thousand<\/a> tons of aid to Gaza since the war\u2019s outbreak.<\/p>\n Sisi is balancing the anger<\/a> of the Egyptian public\u2014which includes media reports suggesting that Egypt is blocking aid to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing\u2014with his foreign policy interests.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cEgypt is one of the most-indebted countries in the world and a strategic partner of the United States, forcing Sisi to walk a fine line between criticism of U.S. policy and the outrage of Egyptians over the bloodshed in Gaza,\u201d CFR Middle East expert Steven Cook told CFR. \u201cThis is why Egypt has positioned itself as a critical link providing humanitarian aid to Gazans, even if it has not always lived up to this role.\u201d<\/p>\n Egypt\u2019s lack of resources to support an influx of Palestinian refugees from Gaza strains its ability to accept fleeing civilians. In addition to Palestinians leaving Gaza, another wave of refugees is coming from nearby Sudan<\/a>, leaving Egypt struggling to accommodate the regional refugee influx. At the same time, Israeli attacks have forcibly displaced<\/a> Palestinians to Egypt\u2019s northern Sinai governorate, which borders Gaza, creating significant political consequences and security risks.<\/p>\n Jordan<\/p>\n Since October 7, 2023, Jordan has funneled food, water, and medical supplies to Gaza through the nonprofit Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), delivered in collaboration with Jordanian Armed Forces and the foreign ministry.\u00a0<\/p>\n As of May 2025<\/a>, JHCO Secretary-General Hussein al-Shibli said that Jordan has directed more than $428 million in aid to Gaza. The last major delivery was in August 2025, when JHCO dispatched thirty-eight food supply trucks to the territory, assisted by the Jordanian Armed Forces and the UN World Food Program.<\/p>\n Prior to that delivery, the country\u2019s military had resumed airdrops of aid from C-130 Hercules planes and helicopters after Israeli authorities lifted a nine-month ban. Overall, Jordan has carried out 164 airdrops<\/a> of aid and assisted in nearly 400 additional airdrops conducted with international partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition, Jordan has taken on a diplomatic role. King Abdullah II spoke<\/a> on the phone with Trump to help broker a ceasefire in the days leading up to the truce\u2019s announcement. Jordan also worked with Egypt and other members of the Arab League to create Gaza reconstruction plans that would prevent Palestinian displacement. It also announced it would train police<\/a> for the peace plan\u2019s International Stabilization Force with Egypt. (Egypt has reportedly begun<\/a> this training, but there have been no reports that confirm Jordan has done so yet). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Egypt Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi called for the continued flow of humanitarian aid to the nearly 2.3…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":100693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[37],"class_list":{"0":"post-100692","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-israel"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116528072658528791","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
