Khalaf made these remarks only a day after Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid proposed that Egypt take control of Gaza after the war for at least eight years, which could be extended to 15, in exchange for the international community settling Egypt's foreign debts.
"We do not believe that these proposals are actual solutions. They would prolong the conflict rather than bring about a lasting resolution," Khalaf declared.
He also emphasized that the Palestinians alone should exercise "full sovereignty" over Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem and assume total responsibility for their administration.
In addition, Khalaf called for Israeli withdrawal from occupied Palestinian territories and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Egypt had previously administered the Gaza Strip from 1948 to 1967.
It has categorically rejected US President Donald Trump's proposal for the US to take over the Gaza Strip, deport its native population to Egypt and Jordan, and build a so-called Riviera in the Middle East.
Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations have condemned the US plan to displace the Palestinians from their historical homeland, insisting instead on making headway with the two-state solution as the only just way to resolve the Palestinian issue.
Instead of Trump's proposed displacement scheme, Egypt is preparing a comprehensive plan for rebuilding the heavily devastated Gaza Strip without displacing the Palestinians.
Furthermore, Cairo is hosting an emergency Arab Summit on 4 March to discuss ways to support the Palestinians and their cause.
