Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has rejected any plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, reiterating Egypt’s opposition to moving Palestinians outside the territory.
El-Sisi said Palestinians should remain on their land and stressed that resolving the conflict should not involve permanently relocating Gaza’s population. Egypt has repeatedly called for a political solution that protects Palestinian rights and supports the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Egypt has also played a role in diplomatic efforts aimed at securing ceasefires, facilitating humanitarian aid and negotiating the release of hostages and prisoners between Israel and Hamas.
The issue of displacement has remained highly sensitive, with Palestinian officials and several Arab governments opposing proposals that would move Gaza’s population to neighbouring countries. Egyptian officials have warned that mass displacement could have serious humanitarian, political and security consequences for the region.
Cairo continues to call for increased humanitarian assistance to Gaza and for efforts toward a lasting political settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
