CAIRO: Following US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi declared on Wednesday that the forced relocation of Gazans is a “injustice that we cannot take part in.” During a press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto in Cairo, El-Sisi declared, “We cannot participate in the injustice of the deportation and displacement of the Palestinian people from their land.”
Egypt’s historic stance on the Palestinian cause “can never be compromised,” El-Sisi continued. According to El-Sisi, Egypt was “determined to work with President Trump, who seeks to achieve the desired peace based on the two-state solution” and supported “the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
“We are confident that President Trump can achieve this long-standing objective of bringing about a fair and sustainable peace in the Middle East,” he stated. Trump praised a plan to “clean out” the Gaza Strip after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire went into effect on January 19. He reiterated the concept on Monday when he urged Palestinians to relocate to “safer” places like Egypt or Jordan. In an interview with reporters on Monday night, Trump expressed his wish that El-Sisi “would take some” Gazans. He remarked, “I’m sure he’d help us, and we helped them a lot.”
