U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East peace plan will not involve giving land from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula to the Palestinians, an American envoy said on Friday.
Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt, Trump's Middle East envoy, apparently sought to deny reports on social media that the long-awaited plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would involve extending Gaza into the northern Sinai along Egypt's Mediterranean coast.
"Hearing reports our plan includes the concept that we will give a portion of Sinai (which is Egypt's) to Gaza. False!" Greenblatt, one of the architects of the proposal, tweeted on Friday.
Greenblatt added: "Please don't believe everything you read."
The American plan is expected to be unveiled once Israel's newly re-elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forms a government coalition and after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends in June.
