Egypt’s Sissi lauds Trump, praises Gaza plan as ‘right path to lasting peace’

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi is praising US President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan on Monday, as negotiators from Hamas, Israel and the United States converge on Egypt to discuss a hostage-prisoner exchange and ceasefire.

“I can only extend my praise and appreciation for US President Donald Trump,” he says in an address, adding: “A ceasefire, the return of prisoners and detainees, the reconstruction of Gaza and the launch of a peaceful political process that leads to the establishment and recognition of the Palestinian state means we are on the right path to lasting peace and stability.”
