Egyptian threatening to end Israel peace treaty if US cuts aid

Egypt is threatening to end the decades-old peace treaty with Israel, according to a report by a Qatari newspaper, if the Trump administration terminates American aid to Egypt over Cairo’s opposition to the Gaza resettlement plan.

On Tuesday, Al Araby al-Jadeen cited multiple diplomatic sources claiming that Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, has suspended plans to meet with his American counterpart, Donald Trump, amid the continuing disagreement between the two over Trump’s Gaza resettlement plan.

On February 1st, Trump spoke with el-Sisi by phone, the White House said, making no mention of the president’s Gaza plan, though a readout of the call said the two discussed the Gaza Strip.

This Sunday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog revealed that Trump is slated to meet with a number of senior Arab leaders, including Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, and el-Sisi.

All three leaders have publicly rejected Trump’s plan to resettle Gaza’s population in third-party countries.
