Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty calls for the swift reconstruction of Gaza without the displacement of Palestinians from the territory following a surprise proposal from US President Donald Trump to take it over.

In his talks with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa in Cairo, the two men agree on “the importance of moving forward with early recovery projects… at an accelerated pace… without the Palestinians leaving the Gaza Strip, especially with their commitment to their land and refusal to leave it,” the Egyptian foreign ministry says.
