The Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported, allegedly from Egyptian sources, that the US has informed Cairo of its decision to reduce the military aid it provides to it starting next year. An Egyptian diplomat from Washington, quoted in the report, claimed that the announcement of the reduction that reached Egypt did not include a precise definition of the cut, which will be determined later, after internal American consultations. "Egyptian sources" also wrote that "the Pentagon has increased pressure on Cairo in an attempt to convince it to change its position of refusing to cooperate with the U.S. plan for the Gaza Strip."
