Egypt agreed to postpone a UN Security Council resolution against Israeli settlements when US president-elect Donald Trump called President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the presidency said today.
Egypt had requested yesterday that the resolution demanding Israel halt settlements be postponed after Israel launched a frantic lobbying effort.
The presidency said the two leaders had agreed to allow Trump's incoming administration a chance to tackle the issue.
