Any "forced displacement" of the Palestinian population in Gaza or the West Bank would be "unacceptable", French President Emmanuel Macron and his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said after a telephone discussion Wednesday.
"It would be a serious violation of international law, an obstacle to the two-state solution and a major destabilising force for Egypt and Jordan," the two leaders said, according to a statement from the French presidency.
The statement came after US President Donald Trump proposed "long-term ownership" of Gaza by the United States, triggering an international uproar.
Macron and Sisi said they wanted to work for a "credible solution" that paved the way for a two-state solution for the territory.
The war in Gaza, triggered by the October 2023 attack by the Hamas militant group against Israel, has devastated much of the territory.
Trump, who returned to the White House last month, has repeatedly claimed credit for sealing a ceasefire agreement that took effect last month.
