Egypt FM says final decision on US peace plan rests with PA

Egypt’s foreign minister, Sameh Shoukry, says his country is participating in the Bahrain economic conference to listen to the US proposal for Israeli-Palestinian peace.

“We have the right to evaluate and review it,” he says in an interview with Russia Today.

But, he adds, “the final decision is for the Palestinian Authority.”

The Palestinians are boycotting the conference and have rejected the proposal outright. The conference will not deal with the political aspects of the plan, which have yet to be unveiled.
