Egypt Rejects Plans for Palestinian Displacement

By Fly Cable News

Egypt has firmly opposed proposals to displace Palestinians, emphasizing its commitment to preserving the Palestinian cause and safeguarding regional security.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Egyptian presidency reiterated its stance against any forced relocation efforts.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has drawn sharp criticism from the Arab world over a controversial plan to permanently displace over two million Palestinians from Gaza, place the territory under U.S. control, and transform it into an international tourist destination.

Egypt is set to host an emergency Arab League summit on March 4 to discuss strategies for countering Trump’s proposal, as well as calls for Egypt and Jordan to resettle displaced Palestinians. Both nations have rejected the plan, citing concerns over national security.

Last Friday, Arab leaders, including representatives from Gulf states, Egypt, and Jordan, convened in Riyadh to address the situation.

Palestinians fear a repeat of the 1948 Nakba, when hundreds of thousands were expelled or forced to flee their homeland following the establishment of the state of Israel.
