US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday: “No one will expel any Palestinian from the Gaza Strip,” said US President Donald Trump on Wednesday. This came during a press conference in Washington with Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin, who arrived in the United States on an unlimited visit. In a press question about his plan to expel the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, Trump replied: “No one will expel any Palestinian from Gaza.”
Since last January, US President Donald Trump has been promoting the plan to displace the Palestinians of Gaza into neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by the two countries, and other Arab countries and regional and international organizations have joined them.
Today, Wednesday, the foreign ministers of Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE and the secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the American envoy to the Middle East Steve Whitchv, a plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, in response to the Trump plan.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said, in a statement, that “the gathered Arab foreign ministers offered Gaza’s reconstruction plan approved by the Arab Summit held in Cairo on March 4, 2025.” The Egyptian Foreign Ministry added that the meeting “agreed with the American envoy to continue to consult and coordinate it as a basis for the efforts of the reconstruction of the sector.”
These moves come at a time when the Gaza Strip is witnessing extremely complex humanitarian conditions, as a result of the continuous military escalation, as the need for urgent relief assistance increased, amid international warnings of a humanitarian catastrophe. Egypt stressed on more than one occasion the importance of a comprehensive political solution that guarantees the cessation of aggression, the delivery of aid, and the immediate start of reconstruction, according to a vision that guarantees stability in the long term.
