The Egyptian President expressed his readiness to demilitarize the territory of the future Palestinian state, emphasizing the possibility of deploying foreign military forces to ensure stability in the region. He stated this in his recent speech.

The Egyptian leader emphasized that a demilitarized Palestinian state could become a guarantee of security for both Palestine and Israel. As options for deploying foreign military contingents in Palestine, he proposed NATO troops, the UN, as well as Arab or American military units.

However, Hamas received such a statement extremely negatively, which could increase tensions between Palestine and Egypt.
