The US administration has informed Egypt that it plans to reduce military aid to Cairo as a result of differences in their efforts to deal with the results of Israel’s genocidal bombing of the Gaza Strip, informed sources told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.

The policy change comes against the backdrop of Egypt’s disapproval of Trump’s plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza to make way for the creation of the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’, which includes building new communities for Palestinians in Egypt and Jordan.

An Egyptian diplomat in Washington told the newspaper that the exact extent of the aid cut to Egypt has not yet been determined, but it is expected to be implemented next year.
