CAIRO: Egypt said on Tuesday it plans to offer a “comprehensive proposal” to rebuild Gaza while ensuring Palestinians remain on their land, according to a foreign ministry statement.
It said it is looking forward to cooperating with U.S. President Donald Trump to reach comprehensive and just peace in the region.
Egypt emphasized that any proposed solution to the Palestinian issue must prioritize avoiding threats to the peace gains in the region while addressing the root causes of the conflict by ending Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories.
Egypt also reiterated the necessity of implementing a two-state solution as the only path to lasting stability and coexistence in the region.
The statement comes as Trump continues to press for his plan to take over the Gaza Strip and resettle its population to neighboring Egypt and Jordan despite rejection from Arab states.
