Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and US Hold Quadrilateral Meeting in Cairo

Senior diplomats from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United States held a quadrilateral meeting in Cairo. The meeting was attended by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atty, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, and US Presidential Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Maher Boulos.

Iran-US Agreement and Regional Impacts

Egyptian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Temim Halef stated in a declaration that the meeting involved an in-depth exchange of views on a number of regional files, including the Iran dossier. Halef noted that the 14-point memorandum of understanding reached between Iran and the US through Pakistani mediation was highlighted as a significant step, expected to contribute to reducing tensions and strengthening security and stability in the region.

Iran and the US announced on June 14 that they had reached a memorandum of understanding aimed at stopping the war and resolving disputes between the parties through dialogue and negotiations. The agreement includes issues such as ending the war in Lebanon, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and lifting the US naval blockade on Iran.

Libya and Palestine on the Agenda

The meeting also addressed the latest situation in Libya. Emphasis was placed on supporting efforts to preserve Libya's unity and sovereignty, advancing the political process, and the importance of unifying state institutions.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry also confirmed in a statement that regional issues, including Libya, were addressed in the Cairo meeting. Libya is experiencing a political division between the internationally recognized Government of National Unity headed by Dbeibah, operating in Tripoli (west), and the government headed by Hamad, appointed by the House of Representatives in Benghazi (east).

According to a statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, developments in the Palestinian issue, particularly the recent situation in the Gaza Strip, were also discussed in the meeting. Furthermore, the situation on the African continent and ways for joint cooperation and coordination to support security and stability on the continent were discussed.

In Gaza, a ceasefire agreement was reached following a war that began on October 8, 2023, and continued in various forms. The conflict led to the loss of over 73,000 lives, injuries to over 173,000 people, and the destruction of 90% of civilian infrastructure. The United Nations estimates the reconstruction cost could be around $70 billion.
