Egypt rejects allocating land to Gaza residents, state-affiliated TV says after Trump remarks

CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt rejected any proposal to allocate land to Gaza residents, the state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV reported on Tuesday, citing Egyptian sources.

U.S. President Donald Trump said earlier on the same day that he believed there would be a parcel of land in Jordan, Egypt and someplace else where Palestinians can be resettled.
