Egyptian PM: Cairo ready to sacrifice 'millions' to defend Sinai

Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has said his country will not allow anything to be "imposed" on the Sinai region during a visit to the area bordering Israel and besieged Gaza.

Madbouly's comments during a visit to a military base are seemingly a reference to proposals within Israel to resettle Gaza's Palestinian population in the Sinai.

"We are ready to spend millions of lives on every grain of sand here," Madbouly said, adding: "Egypt will never allow anything to be imposed on it."
