Why is Egypt taking a central role in diplomatic efforts regarding the Trump plan?

Egypt is serving as the 'engine' of diplomatic efforts because it faces enormous potential damage if Trump's plan moves forward. Cairo has a significant vested interest in preventing the advancement of this plan, which motivates them to act quickly in the diplomatic arena. According to Alon Liel, former director general of Israel's Foreign Ministry, Egypt's approach is appropriate given the high stakes involved for them. Their urgent engagement stems from self-preservation rather than altruism, as the consequences of the plan's implementation would directly impact Egyptian interests.
