A future Palestinian state could be demilitarized and have a temporary international security presence to provide guarantees to both it and to Israel, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Friday.
"We said that we are ready for this state to be demilitarized, and there can also be guarantees of forces, whether NATO forces, United Nations forces, or Arab or American forces, until we achieve security for both states, the nascent Palestinian state and the Israeli state," Sisi said
"A political resolution which requires a Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, has remained out of reach, "Sisi added.
The UN Security Council was set to vote later on Monday on a U.S.-drafted resolution endorsing President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza and authorizing an international stabilization force for the Palestinian enclave.
Germany on Monday moved to resume weapons sales to Israel that had been suspended since August over the war in Gaza, but said the decision is subject to the observance of the ceasefire and the large-scale provision of humanitarian aid.
In a few days Washington will try to sell the world a neat package. Saudi Arabia gets a historic security pact and astronomical American weapons.
