AL-QUDS (Dispatches) – Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, an Israeli official said on Monday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not provide further details. Egyptian officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Netanyahu travels to New York on Tuesday and will also meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Netanyahu and Sisi met in public for the first time in 2017. Egypt was the first of a handful of Arab countries to recognize the Zionist regime under a U.S.-sponsored accord in 1979 and the two maintain close co-ordination on security.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu secretly traveled to Egypt in May for talks with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to discuss a Gaza ceasefire.
According to a Channel 10 station report, U.S. sources said that Netanyahu and Sisi discussed the possibility of a long-term truce in the Gaza Strip and the potential return of the Palestinian Authority to the region.
The meeting was held several days after the May 14 deadly protests along the Gaza border against the opening of the U.S. embassy in al-Quds.
