Egyptian President and U.S. President-Elect agree to allow Trump's administration to deal with Israel-PA peace issues.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Thursday night spoke with U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump, Sisi's office said, according to Reuters.
The call came hours after the UN Security Council postponed indefinitely a vote on Egypt's draft resolution denouncing Israeli “settlements”.
"During the call they discussed regional affairs and developments in the Middle East and in that context the draft resolution in front of the Security Council on Israeli settlement," said Sisi’s spokesman, Alaa Yousef.
"The presidents agreed on the importance of affording the new U.S. administration the full chance to deal with all dimensions of the Palestinian case with a view of achieving a full and final settlement," he added.
Thursday’s vote on the UN Security Council resolution was reportedly postponed after Sisi instructed his nation’s delegation to push for a delay in the vote.
Trump had earlier called for the United States to veto the resolution, as it has traditionally done with similar proposals. American officials indicated that the Obama administration was planning to abstain from voting or even to vote yes.
Sisi recently praised Trump and said he expected greater engagement in the Middle East from his administration.

Trump and Sisi meet in New York (Reuters)
I knew Trump was president while BO was gone.
I’m glad he’s acknowledging Sisi early on. The man is a hero.
Trump and al-Sisi humiliate and marginalize Obama and his puppet masters and manufacture a natural segue into jump starting real and meaningful Arab-Israeli negotiations right out of the box
These guys are working at a level Team Obama does not even know exists
The grown-ups are in charge again.
More winning!
HOORAY Trump and Sisi.
I hope he declares the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and purges it from the US.
Al Sisi has American connections---he received his graduate degree at our Carlisle PA military college.
==========================================
BACKSTORY---In the post-Morsi era, then-Gen al Sisi (now Egyptian president) refused to take Obama's phone call---b/c Obama wanted al Sisi to leave the M/B alone.
Nonetheless, al Sisi, proceeded to smash the M/B and throw them out of Egyptian politics....he vowed to rebuild the 65 Christian churches the M/B had torched.
Russia's Vladimir Putin assured Pres al Sisi he endorsed these anti-Muslim efforts.
=============================================
It should be remembered that while Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood were in charge in Egypt, Obama and Secy Hillary showered them with praise and provided billions of dollars in aid, arms, tanks, and planes.
Egypt has unceremoniously thrown the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.... and hasn’t forgotten the support offered to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egypt has now charged Obama and Hillary Clinton for conspiring and collaborating with the M/B and advancing their terrorist activities. Hillary's M/B pal, Gehad al Haddad, a Clinton Foundation employee, once charged, is now sitting in an Egyptian jail (reported by H/T Western Journalism).
==============================================
PRES TRUMP'S PET PEEVE The US incursion into Iraq got us not a barrel of oil.....just rivers of young blood spilled on its decrepit soil, and trillions of US treasure still being spent.
Here's a job for President al Sisi---should he choose to accept it------ISIS controls untold oil wealth in Iraq and Syria. Neocon godfather--Richard Perle---is reportedly starting his own oil company in Iraq----according to the WSJ. Did ISIS strike a deal w/ Perle?
I believe Sisi was the first world leader to call Trump and congratulate him
Beautiful....deserves a repeat.
The left likes to pretend that all Muslims hate and fear Trump’s hard-line approach to radical Muslims, but of course someone like Sisi wants the extremist terrorists destroyed as much as Trump does. They pose a direct and very real threat to him and his government. I’m not surprised that Sisi, knowing that Trump will be on his side over the extremist Muslim Brotherhood, is willing to give Trump more leeway to operate in regard to Israel and the Middle East. Trump understands leverage and the art of the deal.
It’s so handy that he is in New York where all this is going down
The transition is already in progress.
Nice to have a President, again!
Thanks for this briefing on Egyptian president al Sisi. He’s an interesting man in a pivotal position in the Middle East.
If Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and al Sisi work together, a lot of good can come to the Middle East.
All this is possible now that the globalist ISIS-founder Boobamba is exiting the scene.
The Boob and the conniving Clintons are gone....hooray.
Obama's girly PC solution to terrorism---playing nice, handing them money, and bowing in submission doesn't cut it......you have to be severe with these barbarians.
Putin has already unleashed Russia's Spetsnaz special forces on bloody revenge missions against local (Muslim) jihad units.....to punish them for atrocities against Russian troops and Christian civilians.
Putin also backed Egypt's president al Sisi in the latter's vow to rebuild the Christian churches and businesses destroyed by Muslims.
To great acclaim, Egypt's al Sisi threw the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.
======================================================
As jsanders2001 posted: Putin should announce that for every Russian killed by ISIS that 100 ISIS soldiers die with key soldier among them. Right after this had just been done.
Thank God, al Sisi prevailed in Egypt against the Muslim Brotherhood.
As usual, the leftist press got it all wrong with their “Arab Spring” praise. Boobamaba and Hillary were aiding and abetting the rise of ISIS.
They are literally the founders of ISIS.
This is all going to end in a few short weeks. Can’t come soon enough.
It’s a really remarkable photo. You sense that Trump and al Sisi are really engaged. Trump is filling a huge vacuum in the Middle East. And guys like al Sisi are quick to jump in and get the relationship on track after so many years of America being on the wrong side.
