The United States is expected to turn its full attention to the Gaza situation once the Iran issue is resolved, according to a senior Egyptian diplomat quoted by Al Jazeera Arabic. The unnamed official stated that ongoing tensions with Iran had overshadowed Washington’s work on Gaza. He predicted that if a final agreement with Iran is completed within the next few days, the US will renew pressure for Gaza negotiations.

The diplomat explained that this renewed focus would align with demands from mediators seeking to ensure Israel’s commitment to implementing the first phase of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The statement suggests that Washington’s next diplomatic steps in the region will depend on the conclusion of the Iran deal.

The report indicates that the US initiative will primarily respond to mediator concerns about maintaining progress in the Gaza ceasefire process once the Iran matter is settled.
