United States Secretary of State John Kerry met in Cairo on Wednesday with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a day after the Egyptian leader called for a renewal of the Middle East peace process.

Even before Sisi raised the issue, Kerry had planned a visit to discuss the Libya and Syria crises and to raise concerns about Egypt's harsh crackdown on dissent, and those issues were discussed in the meeting, according to AFP.

But Kerry was also keen to hear more from the Egyptian leader about how he intends to help broker peace between his Israeli and Palestinian neighbors.

"He's interested in hearing a bit more directly from the president about what role he has in mind," a senior U.S. official told reporters before the talks, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"The Secretary expressed his appreciation for the president's recent statement of strong support for advancing Arab-Israeli peace," State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner said afterwards, without providing details.

On Tuesday, in a televised speech, Sisi urged Israelis and Palestinians to seize what he said was a "real opportunity" and hailed his own country's peace deal with Israel.

Doesn't Lurch ever have to go home and service the Missus? Does he ever get jet lag? Can't he ever pose for a picture without looking like either a cretin, a creep, or both? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I want to know if Sisi punched him in his damn mouth?

He had the perfect chance in the photo. Lurch was sitting down, so he wouldn’t have needed a ladder. But he just sat there smiling at the doofus. Dang!

“egypt’s crackdown on dissent”....translation....egypt is containing or neutralizing Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood terrorist murder gang so Obama can’t putsch them into another coup against the Egyptian government like he did in 2009

O is still working as fast and furiously as he can for his IslamoNazi world expansion, takeovers everywhere he can arrange them..... or just destroying or weakening countries not under IslamoNazi dictatorship....(libya, syria, europe, uk, usa of course, somalia, etc.)..he remains very very dangerous to the world

and Kerry remains his little Ambassador of Evil, stirring up as much trouble as he can, whereever he can. don’t be surprised to see Kerry anywhere in the world, stirring up troubles, wars, and anti-American sentiment

Thanks Eleutheria5.

Even before Sisi raised the issue, Kerry had planned a visit to discuss the Libya and Syria crises and to raise concerns about Egypt's harsh crackdown on dissent...

There's no dissent -- there's pro-jihadist riots and terrorist attacks, and both are criminal activities. Zero, Hitlery, and Lurch engineered the chaos in Egypt, and certainly helped do the same in Libya. The correct response would be to shoot Pruneface through both eyes and dump his carcass in the Nile.
