US President Joe Biden called Egypt's President Abdelfattah al-Sisi to discuss strengthening the Gaza ceasefire, urgent humanitarian aid to the strip, and international reconstruction efforts.

During the call, the two leaders discussed ways to revive the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians after the latest wave of violence between the two sides, the Egyptian presidency said in a statement.

"Biden made clear his country's determination to work to restore calm and restore conditions as they were in the Palestinian territories, as well as coordinating efforts with all international partners to support the Palestinian Authority as well as reconstruction," the statement said.

The White House said in a statement that Biden in the call thanked Egypt for its successful diplomacy and coordination with the United States to end the hostilities. Biden and Sisi discussed the urgent need to deliver humanitarian assistance in Gaza and support rebuilding efforts 'in a manner that benefits the people there and not Hamas', it said.

It was Biden's second call to Sisi within days to discuss the conflict. But this time, the discussion was expanded to bilateral relations and some regional issues, including Libya and Iraq.

Egypt has carried out diplomatic and political efforts to reach a ceasefire in Palestine in cooperation with other partners.
