Alon Ben-Meir spoke with Egyptian Ambassador to the United States Mohamed Tawfik, focusing on Egypt’s critical role in mediating between Hamas and Israel, and whether or not an opportunity was missed by not linking the donor conference for Gaza to the wider peace process. In addition, they discussed Egypt’s contribution to the US-led coalition against the Islamic State and the nature of Egypt’s political transition following the election of President Sisi.
