French President Emmanuel Macron stressed that any solution to rebuild Gaza "must not come at the expense of disrespecting the rights of the Palestinians and territorial sovereignty."

He explained that "the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip do not want to be resettled abroad, and the countries of the region reject this as well."

Macron added: "You cannot tell two million people, do not move to your cities in Gaza because the issue is political and not a real estate transaction."
