The Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reports that Egypt recently refused an extensive and “unprecedented” economic aid package, which was to be funded by European countries and possibly also Gulf states, as part of pressure on Egypt to accept the migration of Gaza residents into its territory.
According to the report, Egypt rejected the proposal and stated that it opposes the displacement of Gazans outside the Strip.
It was further reported that senior Egyptian officials made clear to Europeans in a meeting last week that they are willing to cooperate with any solution for Gaza that leaves the residents on their land.
