Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi urges the reconstruction of Gaza take place “without displacing Palestinians,” after US President Donald Trump said he could “conceivably” halt aid to Egypt and Jordan if they refuse to take in Gazans.
During a phone call with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Sissi “stressed the necessity of starting the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip… without displacing Palestinians and in a way that ensures the preservation of their rights… to live on their land.”
The Egyptian president also says that the establishment of a Palestinian state is “the only guarantee for achieving lasting peace” in the region, according to a statement from his office.
