Egypt strongly rejects any proposals for the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, affirming support for their rights and statehood. Prime Minister Madbouly reinforced this stance in a meeting with his Palestinian counterpart, while President Sisi highlighted the injustice of displacement during a press conference. Both leaders have consistently asserted that Egypt will not tolerate measures leading to such outcomes.
On March 1, 2025, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reiterated Egypt’s strong opposition to any proposals that would entail the displacement of Palestinians from their land in the Gaza Strip. His remarks were made during a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa in Cairo, as announced by the Egyptian cabinet. Madbouly emphasized Egypt’s unwavering support for the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights, particularly their right to self-determination and statehood based on the June 4, 1967, borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
In January, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi articulated that the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza would constitute an “injustice that Egypt cannot be part of.” During a joint press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto, Sisi reiterated Egypt’s long-standing position against any actions that would render life unbearable in Gaza, potentially leading to the displacement of its inhabitants. Sisi remarked, “The historical injustice inflicted upon the Palestinians … cannot be allowed to happen again,” emphasizing the need for vigilance against such outcomes.
Sisi also stressed that should any attempt to displace Palestinians occur, it would provoke significant public outcry, stating, “Do not participate in injustice.” He affirmed that Egypt would not tolerate any leniency regarding this matter. Previous efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump to propose the relocation of Gazans to Egypt and Jordan had been clearly rejected by both Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
In summary, Egypt firmly opposes any measures that would lead to the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza. Prime Minister Madbouly and President Sisi have both expressed strong support for the rights of Palestinians and the necessity of maintaining their presence in their homeland. This issue remains a focal point of Egypt’s foreign policy, as they stand against what they deem historical injustices.
