The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reports that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi informed other Arab leaders that he is willing to temporarily relocate half a million residents from Gaza to a designated city in the northern Sinai as part of the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
This step would require opening the border crossings between Sinai and Gaza for those who wish to leave.
According to the report, these statements were made during meetings held by Arab leaders in recent weeks in Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
There is no confirmation of this report from any other source.
