CAIRO, Jun. 17 (YPA) – Contrary to media reports by the Saudi-led coalition about the visit of Rashad al-Alimi, the head of the so-called Riyadh-formed Presidential Council to Egypt, in which he held several meeting with Egyptian officials led by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, information reveals that Rashad al-Alimi has  met with a senior Zionist official at the Zionist  Embassy in Cairo.

Al-Alimi was accompanied by Aidarous al-Zubaidi, the head of the South Transitional Council (STC) during his visit to Cairo.

“Al-Alimi secretly visited the Israeli embassy in Cairo with deputy foreign minister Idan Roll. The meeting was attended by the Zionist Ambassador to Egypt Amira Oron along with Egypr’s  deputy chief of intelligence, Nasser Fahmy,”  according to  information leaked by Alf Ben, editor-in-chief of Israeli Haaretz.

The information confirmed that the meeting discussed normalization steps of Riyadh-formed Presidential Council with the Israeli entity.

During the meeting Al-Alimi has shown his willingness to have a full normalization and has asked for the  Israeli support, according to the report.

Earlier, Aidarous al-Zubaidi, chairman of the STC said in an interview  that there is a possibility of normalization and recognition of Israel.
