In a groundbreaking diplomatic move, US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee will visit Cairo to press Egypt on its Gaza role, marking the first such visit in decades.
The United States is stepping directly into the heart of Middle Eastern diplomacy. Mike Huckabee, US Ambassador to Israel, is expected to travel to Cairo in the coming days to meet with senior Egyptian officials, including Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. Embassy officials in Jerusalem confirmed the visit to The New York Times, calling it “historic.”
The talks will focus on the aftermath of the Gaza war, where Israel dismantled Hamas’ military infrastructure and exposed the complicity of regional actors. Huckabee’s presence signals Washington’s intent to ensure Egypt does not allow Gaza to remain a terror hotbed.
This will be the first official visit in decades by a US ambassador to Israel to Egypt—a powerful message to Cairo that the US and Israel expect cooperation, not obstruction, in stabilizing the region. With tensions between Jerusalem and Cairo rising, Huckabee’s trip underscores America’s recognition of Israel’s frontline role in defeating terror and securing the Middle East.
