Sisi unlikely to attend White House talks if Gaza displacement is on agenda, sources say

Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will not travel to Washington for talks at the White House if the agenda includes US President Donald Trump's plan to forcefully displace Palestinians from Gaza, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters.

In a call between Trump and Sisi on 1 February, the US president extended an open invitation to Sisi to visit the White House, the Egyptian presidency said. No date has been set for any such visit, a US official said.

Sisi has repeatedly said that Egypt would never participate in a large displacement of Palestinians across the border.
