An official rejection of Lapid’s proposal: “Any proposals or suggestions that contradict Egypt’s and the Arab world’s stance — particularly on Egypt temporarily administering Gaza — are outright rejected and unacceptable,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tamim Khallaf said, according to Moussa (watch, runtime 2:17). His comments come in response to Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid’s proposal that Egypt manages Gaza’s security and civil administration for up to 15 years in exchange for external debt relief.
