Egyptian President General Abdel Fatah A-Sisi denies the al-Aram report that he offered the PA (Palestinian Authority) a state in Sinai. That report stated the Egyptian leader offered 160 square kilometers, which would give a new State of Palestine an area five times larger than Gaza and even larger than if the PA received all of Yehuda and Shomron. According to the report, the PA would also maintain its presence in autonomous areas throughout Yehuda and Shomron and maintain control over those areas.

PA officials in Ramallah denied the offer being made and now officials in Cairo join in, denying the accuracy of the report.
