Egypt slams Trump, worries about peace process
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEgypt denounces US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish state.
Egypt was the first Arab nation to sign a peace treaty with Israel — that came in 1979.
A Foreign Ministry statement says Trump’s decision is a violation of international resolutions on the city’s status.
The statement says Egypt is worried about the impact of the US move on the stability of the region and about its “extremely negative” impact on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
