German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Wednesday that Germany wants to support Egypt's efforts to de-escalate tensions following Hamas' attack on Israel during a meeting with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Cairo.
"Together with Egypt, we want to work to alleviate the terrible consequences of the war," said Scholz, adding that they also discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Wednesday that forced displacement of Palestinians cannot be implemented.
He said that Palestinians could be moved to the Negev desert in Israel "till militants are dealt with."
