Major General Samir Faraj responds to the rumors of Tiran and Sanafir
Faraj said in media statements that the two islands were and are still under Egyptian sovereignty, and the forces present to them are fully Egyptian forces, stressing that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia did not request any time, whether before or currently installing surveillance cameras on the two islands.
He added that Saudi Arabia and the United States have never requested that any American military base be established on the two islands, describing what was reported in this regard as malicious rumors launched by one of the channels affiliated with the Brotherhood with the aim of provoking the division between the Egyptian people and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Faraj pointed out that this media campaign comes in the context of attempts to increase the existing tension with the United States, especially after President Abdel Fattah El -Sisi rejected American pressure to displace the Palestinians to Sinai.
