The Biden administration has decided to withhold $130 million of foreign military aid to Egypt over its failure to fulfill human rights conditions, US officials said on Wednesday.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has determined that Cairo, by releasing hundreds of jailed individuals, had made some progress on political detentions and due process, the officials said.

The aid that Blinken has decided to withhold accounts for 10% of the $1.3 billion allocated for Egypt annually. Cairo will receive another $95 million under a statutory exception related to counter terrorism, border security and non-proliferation funding, State Department officials said. Seth Binder, director of advocacy at the Project on Middle East Democracy, a US-based campaign group, said the US claim Egypt has made progress was belied by the continued detention of political prisoners.
