On Tuesday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi held a tripartite meeting with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in southern Sinai, according to the Egyptian presidency.

Presidential spokesman Bassam Radi said in a statement that this tripartite meeting dealt with the repercussions of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, "especially with regard to energy and food security."

For its part, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said in a statement that the three leaders "discussed relations between the three countries in light of the latest global and regional developments and ways to enhance them at all levels."

For its part, the official Emirates News Agency stated that the tripartite meeting "dealed with strengthening relations between countries and the importance of cooperation, coordination and consultation to meet the aspirations of development and stability in the region, energy security and stability of global markets."

Egypt, the largest importer of wheat in the world, fears the consequences of the Russian attack on Ukraine on its needs of this commodity, which it mainly imports from the two countries.

It also fears the repercussions of this attack in general on its economic conditions, which are largely dependent on imports.

On Monday, the Central Bank of Egypt announced a reduction in the price of the Egyptian pound by approximately 17%, as part of its efforts to confront these repercussions and secure agreements with international institutions to finance the country's needs.

Bin Zayed and Bennett, the two, arrived in Sharm El-Sheikh, where they held a bilateral meeting with Sisi, according to Emirati and Israeli media.

This is the first tripartite summit meeting of its kind between the three countries.

Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. As for the UAE, it normalized relations with Israel in 2020.

Israeli media reported that Bennett and Sisi discussed Monday reports that Iran and Western countries were close to reviving the nuclear deal.

Israel strongly opposes this agreement between Iran, Israel's archenemy, and the great powers.

Washington said last week that an agreement was close.
