Egypt cannot take part in the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said, after his US counterpart Donald Trump suggested the war-torn territory’s inhabitants could be moved to Egypt and Jordan.

Trump floated the idea on Saturday, saying he would urge the leaders of the two Arab countries to take in Gaza’s now largely homeless population, so that “we just clean out that whole thing.”
