Egypt Affirms Rejection of Palestinian Displacement Proposals
Egypt reaffirms its rejection of Palestinian displacement proposals, with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi emphasizing the country’s support for Palestinian rights and condemning any actions that would lead to further injustices. Egypt stands firm against suggestions of relocating Gazans and stresses the importance of protecting their land and rights.
On March 1, 2025, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reiterated Egypt’s firm position against any proposals that would involve the displacement of Palestinians from their land in the Gaza Strip. He made these remarks during a meeting in Cairo with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa, emphasizing Egypt’s unwavering support for the legitimate rights of Palestinians, particularly their right to self-determination and a sovereign state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi had previously condemned any displacement of Palestinians, stating that it would be an injustice that Egypt would refuse to tolerate. He highlighted that since the onset of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023, Egypt has repeatedly warned against attempts to render life in Gaza intolerable, leading to potential displacement.
Sisi drew attention to the historical injustices faced by Palestinians, referencing their past dislocations from areas where they were promised eventual return after reconstruction. He declared emphatically that should such actions arise, the Egyptian populace would mobilize in opposition, proclaiming, “Do not participate in injustice.”
Furthermore, discussions involving US President Donald Trump had proposed relocating Gazans to Egypt and Jordan, which were firmly rejected by both President Sisi and Jordanian King Abdullah II. This highlights the strong regional stance against any solutions that would displace Palestinian people from their homeland.
In summary, Egypt maintains its strong opposition to the displacement of Palestinians, as articulated by both Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi. Their steadfast advocacy for Palestinian rights emphasizes the importance of self-determination and national independence, asserting that Egypt will not support any unjust acts against the Palestinian people. The regional leadership continues to resist foreign proposals that threaten the integrity of Palestinian land.
