Biden tells Egypt's Sisi US opposes forced relocation of Palestinians

US President Joe Biden told Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in a phone call on Wednesday that Washington would not permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the occupied West Bank, or the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of Gaza's borders, according to a readout from the White House.

"He also affirmed that under no circumstances can Gaza remain a sanctuary for Hamas where they can threaten Israel and Palestinians alike and  imperil any pathway to a durable peace," the White House said in a statement.
