The Biden administration will not withhold any of the United States’ annual military aid to Egypt, the State Department said Wednesday, in a significant reversal after diverting more than $300 million over the past three years amid scrutiny of the country’s human rights record.

       The State Department informed Congress of its intent to provide all $1.3 billion typically allotted for Egypt each year, the agency said in a statement. Last year, the Biden administration diverted $85 million, citing Cairo’s failure to meet conditions related to treatment of prisoners. In both 2021 and 2022, it withheld $130 million over human rights concerns.
