WASHINGTON, March 5 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- The White House on Tuesday opposed an Arab leaders’ proposal for rebuilding Gaza, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
"The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable and residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance,” National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said in an emailed statement to Anadolu.
“President (Donald) Trump stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas. We look forward to further talks to bring peace and prosperity to the region,” he added.
An emergency Arab summit in Cairo on Tuesday adopted Egypt's reconstruction plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip without displacing Palestinians from their land.
It came after Trump's extraordinary plan to “take over” Gaza and resettle Palestinians to develop it into what he called the "the Riviera of the Middle East."
His plan was rejected by the Arab world and many other nations, who say it amounts to ethnic cleansing.
