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 US President Donald Trump to reach comprehensive and just peace 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 neighbouring Egypt and Jordan despite rejection from Arab states.

Meanwhile, Egypt rejected any proposal to allocate land to Gaza residents, the state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV reported on Tuesday, citing Egyptian sources.
US President Donald Trump said earlier on the same day that he believed there would be a parcel of land in Jordan, Egypt and someplace else where Palestinians can be resettled.
