The White House expressed its opposition Tuesday to a proposal at an Arab leaders’ summit for rebuilding Gaza, arguing that it does not address the current “reality” in the war-torn enclave.
“The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable and residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance,” National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said in an emailed statement to Anadolu.
“President (Donald) Trump stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas. We look forward to further talks to bring peace and prosperity to the region,” he added.
