He stated that next year, bilateral meetings between Sisi and U.S. President Donald Trump will be held within the framework of their strategic relations.
Abdel-Atti stressed that linking Egypt’s gas deal with Israel to political positions is unjustified. He described the agreement as purely an economic and commercial contract between Egyptian, American, and Israeli companies.
He added that political matters have no connection to this contract and warned against using it as a tool to influence domestic affairs in Egypt.
It is worth noting that Egypt’s massive gas deal with Israel has sparked widespread protests amid the ongoing bloody genocide in the Gaza Strip.
