Article: The Egyptian President, General al-Sisi (Kids: find Egypt on a map) has proposed to Palestinian President Abbas to create a Palestinian state from the Gaza Strip into the Sinai, with partial autonomy in the West Bank. Egypt, which currently controls the Sinai, will give Palestinians land to make a Palestinian state under total control of the Palestinians. It would be demilitarized (Kids: what does this mean?) and all Palestinian refugees could live there. This new area would be 5x the size of current Gaza. In exchange Abbas would give up his demand of land from Israel. It is remarkable that the plan, which formerly was conceived by academics, was brought forward by the President of Egypt. (Kids: why?) Apparently Abbas has already rejected the idea. (Kids: why?)
