Egypt Daily News – US President Donald Trump renewed his desire to transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan, despite the official rejection from Cairo and Amman for this proposal, indicating that he will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington soon, to negotiate with a “two -state solution.”
Trump claimed, in statements to reporters, that he believed that President Abdel Fattah El -Sisi and the King of Jordan Abdullah II would accept the transfer of some of Gaza’s residents to their countries.
“I would like people to live in an area where they can live without turmoil, revolutions or violence,” Trump said. The matter here, but it started thousands of years ago, and it has always been associated with violence. So I think people can live in safer areas, and it may be much better and more comfortable. “
In response to a question about “the two -state solution”, and whether he is still committed to a Palestinian state alongside Israel, the US President answered: “I will talk to (Israeli Prime Minister) Benjamin Netanyahu who will come here very soon (in Washington) to negotiate with me.”
He also said about President Sisi “Yes, I spoke to him,” adding that the Egyptian president replied that he “wanted to see peace in the Middle East.”
On President El -Sisi’s position on receiving residents from Gaza in Egypt, Trump said: “I would like to do so. I wish he would accept some of them. We have provided them with a lot of help, and I am sure he will help us too. He is a friend of mine. He is in a very difficult part of the world Frankly, it is a harsh place, as they say, It is a harsh neighborhood.
The Egyptian presidency or the White House officially did not officially declare a call between Sisi and Tram, after the Egyptian Foreign Ministry issued a statement strongly rejecting Trump’s proposals, on Sunday, hours after his announcement of his intention to put it on the Egyptian president in a telephone conversation.
Earlier, the correspondent of the “Axios” news website, Barack Rafid, quoted 3 Israeli and American sources that Netanyahu is planning to travel to the United States next week to meet Trump in the White House. “Netanyahu will be the first foreign official to visit Washington in an official capacity since Trump took his second term.”
