Egyptian president, World Jewish Congress chief discuss ways to restore Mideast stability. Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi affirmed that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is the sole guarantor for achieving lasting peace. US President Donald Trump had proposed that the United States should take control of Gaza and that the Palestinians be relocated to neighboring Jordan and Egypt, a plan that has been widely rejected by Arab countries in the region. Trump later threatened that the US \”could conceivably withhold aid\” from Jordan and Egyptian if the two countries did not agree to receive Palestinians. The meeting took place in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Sunday, Xinhua news agency reported. He reiterated the critical need to launch the reconstruction process of the Gaza Strip, rejecting any forced displacement of its inhabitants from their lands. The Egyptian president also confirmed that Egypt is developing a comprehensive plan in this regard. He underscored Egypt’s significance, noting that Egyptian-American relations are key for stability in the Middle East.
