I have flights to Egypt in Jan 2024 with a layover in Asia
Is it possible to buy travel insurance now with the intent to cover my flight costs in the event the government issues a Do Not Travel warning down the road in Jan 2024?
The current status for Egypt is at Reconsider Your Travel with parts of the border as Do Not Travel.

I'll preempt jv: what does the PDS say?
You mean: what does the PDS say?
Just take out a credit card and register the trip.
Cheaper and easier (with better insurance imho)
"Most travel insurance policies exclude war, acts of war, and political unrest from trip cancellation coverage, meaning most claims related to those events are denied. "
What about if you're headed to De Nile though? That's a river in Egypt and there's no war going on or anything bad happening over there whatsoever.

Pharaoh nuff.
Most travel insurance
This isn't helpful, OP is looking for the ones that cover it.
I'd say even it it had been possible, it is too late now to get insurance.
Given Egypt's history of Islamic terrorism against tourists, you may wish to "Reconsider Your Travel" in the current circumstances. It ain't going to get better before January.
The worst country to visit. Seriously. Consider this comment. Happy to get negged but again, consider this.
Soon as you get your tickets, get your travel insurance, in case you get sicky before the travel. Rest is pure unluck, can't predict the future conditions.
