It is 11 February 2025, the 14th anniversary of Hosni Mubarak's ousting. It came at a very critical time, and it is not about the challenging economic conditions.
It came at a time when the U.S. President himself tried to force Egypt to accept the unacceptable and he is insisting on it.
It came on the same day when US President Donald Trump said in an informal press meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan that the US won't buy Gaza, it will simply "have it". For the record, journalists were told there would not be a press but then Abdullah II found himself inside a mini-Trumpian presser.
In the same meeting, Egyptians saw Trump saying that he believed Palestinians would have a parcel of land in Egypt and Jordan while Abdullah II did not challenge him, sitting there silent with an extremely red face.

From his side, the Jordanian King said that his country would host 2,000 Palestinian children suffering from cancer or other serious diseases. “Nothing new under the sun because for a whole year, Jordan used to do this”
"We have to look at the best interests of the United States, of the people in the region, especially to my people of Jordan," Abdullah said adding that the Egyptians were working on a plan that to be discussed with the Saudis and other Arab countries.
