US Approves $1.3 Billion in Military Aid to Egypt Amid Ongoing Regional Tensions

The Biden administration has announced plans to provide Egypt with $1.3 billion in military aid, a decision that comes as the US relies heavily on Egypt to mediate talks on a ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza. This aid package is notable for not including the usual conditions related to human rights improvements, which is a departure from previous years. In 2021 and 2022, the US withheld $130 million in aid due to human rights concerns, and in 2022, $85 million was diverted for similar reasons.
