Egypt has firmly dismissed any proposals suggesting it take over the temporary administration of the Gaza Strip, reiterating its unwavering commitment to a comprehensive and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Any proposals that circumvent the constants of the Egyptian and Arab position, and the sound foundations for dealing with the essence of the conflict, are "rejected and unacceptable," Egypt’s official Middle East News Agency reported on Wednesday, citing the Egyptian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Tamim Khalaf.
Khalaf described such proposals as "half-solutions" that would only perpetuate cycles of conflict rather than achieving a permanent peace, Xinhua news agency reported.
He further underscored the inseparable nature of the Palestinian territories, stressing the "organic connection between the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem," stressing that these territories constitute the land of the future Palestinian state, and must be subject to full Palestinian sovereignty and administration.
