Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has announced his willingness to send troops into the future Palestinian State towards guaranteeing Israel’s security. The Egyptian leader made his comment during an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera published Sunday. Members of the president’s staff explain Sisi feels this is a move that Egypt feels will assist in encouraging Israel to move ahead towards implementation of the two-state solution.
It is reported that el-Sisi detailed his plan in meetings with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and PA (Palestinian Authority) leader Abu Mazen. El-Sisi is quoted saying that Israel needs to “take a courageous step”.

I wouldn’t call it a courageous step. Rather a very foolish one!
And how can we trust any Arab State. Who is to say that the Egyptian troops wouldn’t turn against Israel, whether ordered to or not?
