Egypt’s Foreign Ministry has issued a strong rebuke to President Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians to Egypt, stating unequivocally that it rejects any such plan, whether temporary or permanent.
This stance is consistent with Egypt’s long-held position on the matter, driven by concerns about maintaining control over its territory and avoiding being drawn into the conflict.
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has previously emphasized that the displacement of Gaza residents to Sinai would be unacceptable.
Despite receiving $1.3 billion annually from the US, Egypt is prioritizing its national interests and sovereignty over potential financial gains.
This development is the latest in the ongoing debate about the Trump administration’s Middle East peace plan, which has been widely criticized by
Palestinians and other regional actors. Egypt’s rejection of the proposal adds to the growing chorus of opposition to the plan.
