The land that al-Sisi offered was much larger than anything they could have obtained from Israel. In fact, it would have been five times bigger.
The International Business Times said that the 1,600 square kilometers that al-Sisi offered was flatly refused by Abbas. This proves that Abbas and the Palestinian Authority only wants to see Israel destroyed. They care nothing about their own people – or peace.
If Abbas would have accepted the deal, there was also a demand that the PA drop the issue of the return of the land to 1967 borders. The area would also be demilitarized, and cities currently under PA control would continue to be so. Palestinian refugees would be repatriated into the new country.
Potentially, the offer would enable the PA to build a country the way they want to. This is something they claim to always have wanted – but the evidence now seems contrary.
At the present time, there is conflict between the PA and Hamas – who have largely caused much of the destruction in the Gaza Strip due to war. All of those concerned could have had a more peaceful life. Now, it looks like war and trouble between Israel and its neighbors will continue.
For those who believe the Bible, this is not news. The Word of God predicts that this kind of trouble will go on until Christ returns; and when He does, He will end the trouble forever! The daily news continues to show that the Bible is correct and that its words need to be heeded fully!
Remember that: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31).
