Egypt, Spain reject US plan to displace Gazans

Cairo [Egypt], February 20: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez rejected the controversial proposal by US President Donald Trump to displace Palestinians from war-torn Gaza.
The Arab League is scheduled to hold a meeting in Cairo on March 4 in response to Trump's plan to take over Gaza and permanently move its Palestinian inhabitants elsewhere.
Speaking in Madrid ahead of the gathering, el-Sisi called for the "international community's support and adoption of a plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip without displacing the Palestinian people".
The Palestinian people "cling to their homeland, which they do not agree to relinquish", Egypt's leader said. Sanchez, one of the staunchest defenders of the Palestinian cause within the European Union, agreed saying, "Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and is part of the future Palestinian state". (Agencies)
