Reports and video have emerged of a massive explosion in Cairo, Egypt ahead of President Trump’s Peace Summit.
Israel Hayom:
A powerful explosion rocked the Egyptian capital, Cairo, on Monday, shattering windows kilometers away from the site. The blast occurred at a military base in the northern part of the city, close to several government institutions.
The explosion took place as regional and world leaders were gathering in Sharm el-Sheikh, in southern Sinai, for a peace summit on the future of the Gaza Strip.
A huge cloud of smoke was seen rising over Cairo, the largest city in the Middle East and Africa, as rescue and emergency vehicles rushed toward the scene.
The cause of the explosion remains unclear, but social media users claimed it originated from an Egyptian military base located in the northern suburbs of the capital, near government and public buildings.
State-affiliated media outlets in Egypt attempted to downplay the incident, reporting that the smoke came from a construction site. However, residents shared photos and videos showing flames rising from the blast site, saying they had heard a loud, distinct explosion that shattered windows kilometers away.

Whether incidental or not, the explosions serve as a reminder that this is a very high-stakes summit in a historical powder-keg region.

FWIW, White House says Trump has already left Egypt.
I wonder how many F-22s were guarding AF1 as he climbed out.
Sharm el-Sheikh is 300 miles from Cairo.
Ragheads be ragheads! Remember Sadat
Just a coincidence that we had a huge munitions explosion a couple of days ago in TN?

Enough with the conspiracy theories already. Please.
Oh, you’re no fun, anymore!
When I read the word, ‘Egypt’ I think of ancient Egypt, Pharaohs and kings, beautiful murals, pyramids, gold ornaments, Tutankahmun and that boys fantastic sarcophagus...even their dust glitters by comparison to the new Egypt which is always a disappointment.
Sadat is why the event wasn’t in Cairo in the first place.
Linky no worky
I think of...
😆🥰
I’d hazard a guess that Trump was far safer in Israel than he is in the US.
Sorry Charlie Brown nothing happens by accident...
Thank you
