Washington, Feb 4 (AP) President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy said Tuesday that a three to five year timeline for reconstruction of Gaza, as set out in a temporary truce agreement, is not viable as the US administration reiterated its call for Arab nations to temporarily relocate displaced Palestinians in the war-torn territory.

“To me, it is unfair to explain to Palestinians that they might be back in five years,” Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff told reporters. “That's just preposterous.”
