Al-Marsad Newspaper: Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi commented on the rumors of selling the Suez Canal for a trillion dollars.
Al-Sisi said, during his inspection of the lineup of equipment participating in the implementation of the state’s plan for the development and reconstruction of Sinai, “The war of terror has not yet ended and will not end, as it is now represented in the volume of rumors, lies and abnormal fabrications, the latest of which was what was said about the Suez Canal.”
He added: Are you aware that the Egyptians are paying attention to this? It was said that we are thinking of selling the Suez Canal. They made a movie for me and said that the Suez Canal will be sold at a trillion dollars, regardless of the numbers.
And Al-Sisi continued: If there is no safety for people, they will not be able to live, which was achieved by the grace of God and thanks to the people of Sinai. People’s hearts would not have gathered on the heart of one man. The issue would have been resolved, and over the previous years, no development processes had taken place, because the cost is large, a network of roads, stations. Electricity, because it works on a flat surface of 60 thousand kilos, its cost is high, and this is what hindered development. We say this in order to make the people who listen to us understand and understand.
