US envoy denies 'Deal of Century' to give portion of Egypt's Sinai to Palestinians

CAIRO - 20 April 2019: U.S. President Donald Trump's long-awaited peace treaty plan does not include giving a portion of Egypt's Sinai peninsula to Palestinians, said US Special representative for international negotiations Jason D. Greenblatt in a tweet Friday.

Greenblatt denied "fake stories" about the plan, which is known in Arabic as the "deal of the century," as false. The plan, yet its details has not been disclosed, includes the US vision for the peace process between Palestinians and Israelis. In his tweet, the US envoy advised people not to believe everything they read.

Hearing reports our plan includes the concept that we will give a portion of Sinai (which is Egypt’s) to Gaza. False! Please don’t believe everything you read. Surprising & sad to see how people who don’t know what’s in the plan make up & spread fake stories.

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and a senior adviser in the deal efforts, previously said that details about the plan would be released after April 9 elections in Israel; however, he did not determine a certain time.
