Egypt has rejected proposals to displace the Palestinian people in order to not “liquidate” the Palestinian cause and to avoid threatening the national security of countries in the region, Reuters quotes a statement by the Egyptian Presidency as saying.

US President Donald Trump has infuriated the Arab world with a plan to permanently displace the population of more than 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, claim US control of it and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East”.
