Egypt has never proposed to resettle Palestinians in Sinai, Ittihadiya’s spokesperson Alaa Youssef told local media outlets on Thursday. “These are baseless rumors,” Youssef says, and they aim to “destabilize” Egypt. “There were no such discussions or proposals from any Arab or international bodies, and that the issue is unacceptable,” he added. Ittihadiya also said President Abdel Fattah El Sisi met with the supreme councils of the armed forces and police to discuss security developments in Northern Sinai on Thursday. The Associated Press and Ynet also covered the statement.
