Egypt reiterates its rejection of any proposals for displacing Palestinians from Gaza, affirming support for their rights. Prime Minister Madbouly, during discussions with Palestinian Prime Minister Mustafa, highlighted Egypt’s backing for Palestinian self-determination. President Sisi condemned any attempts at forced displacement, emphasizing the historical injustices faced by Palestinians.
On March 1, 2025, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reiterated Egypt’s firm stance against any proposals that involve the displacement of Palestinians from their lands in the Gaza Strip. These statements were made during his meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa in Cairo, emphasizing Egypt’s unwavering support for the rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital, as guided by the 1967 borders.
President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi previously expressed that any displacement of Palestinians from Gaza would constitute an injustice that Egypt cannot endorse. During a joint press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto, he stressed Egypt’s long-standing warning against making conditions in the Gaza Strip unbearable, as this could lead to the forced displacement of Palestinians. He remarked, “The historical injustice inflicted upon the Palestinians… cannot be allowed to happen again.”
Sisi further declared that should such displacement occur, the Egyptian populace would protest vehemently against it, urging the international community to refrain from complicity in injustice. He emphasized that displacement was not an option in negotiations, as an attempt by former U.S. President Donald Trump to resettle Gazans in Egypt and Jordan had already been outright rejected by leaders in both nations.
Additional insights were provided by journalist Amr Mohamed Kandil, who reported on the developments and Egypt’s internal and external political position regarding the situation in Gaza, demonstrating the depth of Egypt’s commitment to the Palestinian cause.
Egypt maintains a staunch opposition to the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, reaffirming support for their rights, particularly the right to self-determination. Both Prime Minister Madbouly and President Sisi have voiced the necessity to avoid historical injustices, and Sisi has indicated that any move towards displacement would encounter significant resistance from the Egyptian people.
