North Korea has called US President Donald Trump's proposal for the US to take control of Gaza and resettle Palestinians to create a "Middle Eastern Riviera" "ridiculous", accusing Washington of extortion.
"The Palestinians' faint hopes for security and peace have been shattered by the proposal," said a commentary carried by the state news agency KCNA, which said "the world is now boiling like a pot of porridge over the US bomb declaration."
Meanwhile, Egypt aims to "present a comprehensive vision for the reconstruction" of the Gaza Strip that ensures that Palestinians retain their lands, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Egypt "hopes to cooperate" with the administration of US President Donald Trump "to achieve a comprehensive and just peace in the region." (A2 Televizion)
