Egypt has sent a team into the Gaza Strip, highlighting its growing influence in efforts to mediate a ceasefire and shape the region's future. This move goes beyond humanitarian concerns, as Egypt seeks to reclaim its historical role as the leading diplomatic force in the Arab world. By taking a more active stance, Egypt aims to overshadow the involvement of Qatar and Turkey in Palestinian affairs and assert itself as the primary architect of postwar solutions. The development marks a shift in regional dynamics, with Cairo positioning itself at the forefront of negotiations and reconstruction.
