Statele Unite deblochează 320 de milioane de dolari pentru armata Egiptului

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has approved the release of $320 million in military aid to Egypt, previously withheld due to human rights concerns. This decision reflects U.S. national security interests, particularly in the context of rising tensions in the Middle East. Rubio emphasized Egypt's role in mediating U.S.-Iran relations. The State Department confirmed that human rights issues will remain part of the bilateral dialogue. The released funds are part of an annual aid package of approximately $1.3 billion, allowing Egypt to purchase U.S.-made military equipment. Despite ongoing human rights concerns, U.S. aid to Egypt continues, with previous administrations also utilizing similar waivers.
