Hundreds of people have attended the protest against the plan floated by the US president to move Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan, according to the Egyptian media, Al Jazeera reports.
State-linked TV Al-Qahera News showed footage of protesters waving Egyptian and Palestinian flags near the Rafah border crossing — a highly secured military zone accessible only under official escort.
Trump last week proposed a plan to “clean out” the Gaza Strip, and for Jordan and Egypt to take in Palestinians from the war-ravaged territory.
Both states have strongly rejected the idea, but yesterday Trump again insisted that “we do a lot for them, and they’re going to do it”.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Wednesday had said the “displacement of the Palestinian people from their land is an injustice that we cannot take part in”.
