🇪🇬🇺🇸 US waives rights conditions for $320 million in military aid to Egypt, letter shows

The US State Department has waived human rights conditions tied to $320 million in military aid to Egypt, according to a letter to US lawmakers obtained by Reuters. The letter said the decision was taken in light of Cairo's helpful role since the launch of the US war with Iran.

US military assistance to Egypt has long been subject to rights-related conditions, making the waiver a notable step in Washington's security relationship with Cairo.
