US President Donald Trump told reporters last night that he had spoken to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, but the White House has yet to issue a readout and Egyptian media is now citing government sources as saying that the pair have yet to speak.
If they did, Sissi’s office would issue a readout, the Egyptian officials tell local media.
Trump claimed last night that he raised the issue of Cairo taking in Palestinians from Gaza in their call.
Asked how Sissi received the idea, Trump avoided answering directly, saying, “His response [was] that he’d like to see peace in the Middle East.”
