Sisi stressed Egypt's support for all efforts to reach a fair and permanent solution between the Palestinians and Israelis as well as the importance of supporting the Egyptian drive to help rebuild the Gaza Strip after recent violence, the statement said.
A statement from Bennett's office said the Israeli leader had thanked Egypt for its role in brokering the ceasefire that ended the fighting, and its mediation in helping find Israelis missing or captured in Gaza. The two leaders would work towards meeting soon, the Prime Minister's Office added.
