Egyptian president invites Israeli PM for official visit
Cairo (QNN)- Egypt’s president invited Israeli occupation Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Wednesday for an official visit in the next few weeks, a statement issued by Bennett’s office said.
“The invitation from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was conveyed by Egypt’s intelligence minister during a meeting with Bennett in Jerusalem,” the statement said.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the last Israeli prime minister to make an official visit to Egypt, in 2011, when the late Hosni Mubarak was in power there.
Israeli media reports said Netanyahu secretly met Sisi in Egypt in 2018.
In 1979, Egypt became the first Arab country to normalize ties with the occupation state.
However, even the relations have been cool over the years, Egypt has played a key role in mediating ceasefires between the occupation state and Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip.
