Egypt Friday denied claims on its willingness to temporarily relocate half a million residents from Gaza to a designated city in the northern Sinai, according to Egypt’s State Information Service (SIS).
“Egypt has resolutely and definitively rejected any attempt to forcibly or voluntarily displace Palestinian brothers and sisters to any location outside Gaza, especially to Egyptian territories, as this would represent the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and pose an imminent threat to Egypt’s national security,” the SIS said in a press statement.
It affirmed in the press statement the falsehood of these baseless allegations, which fundamentally and completely contradict Egypt’s firm and principled stance declared from the early days of the genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.
It concluded its statement by emphasizing that Egypt’s steadfast and clear position forms the basis of the plan it presented at the recent Cairo-hosted emergency Arab summit for Gaza’s reconstruction.
“This plan, which Egypt proposed to support Gaza’s rebuilding without relocating a single Palestinian brother or sister from the Palestinian territories, was unanimously approved by the summit.”
