Report: Egypt willing to temporarily relocate half a million Palestinians to Sinai

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, Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reported.

The report said the plan would require opening the border crossings between Sinai and Gaza for Palestinians who are willing to leave.

No other source has confirmed this report.

Egypt previously rejected Trump's plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza and instead proposed a $53 billion, five-year reconstruction plan to rebuild the enclave without depopulating it.
