Israeli opposition leader says Egypt should temporarily control Gaza

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid proposed Tuesday that Egypt assume administrative control of the Gaza Strip for up to 15 years in exchange for receiving relief for its more than $150 billion worth of foreign debt.

The plan would have Egypt take responsibility for managing the enclave for eight years, with the option to extend it to 15 years.

Neither Egypt nor the Palestinian Authority and resistance factions have responded to his proposal.
