“The two leaders considered the urgent need to deliver humanitarian aid to those in need in the Gaza Strip and to support reconstruction efforts so that it benefits the people and not Hamas,” the White House website said in a statement.

It is noted that Biden thanked the Egyptian President for the successful diplomacy that helped "end the recent hostilities in Israel and Gaza."

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken promised the head of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), Mahmoud Abbas, to provide humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip.
