On March 1, 2025, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reaffirmed Egypt’s rejection of Palestinian displacement from Gaza during a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa. President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi had previously characterized such displacement as an injustice, warning against attempts to force Palestinians from their land. This stance was echoed by regional leaders, emphasizing support for Palestinian rights and statehood.
On March 1, 2025, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reiterated Egypt’s firm opposition to any proposals involving the displacement of Palestinians from their land in the Gaza Strip. His comments were made during a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa in Cairo, where he reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to supporting the legitimate rights of Palestinians, particularly their right to self-determination and statehood based on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Previously, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi had declared in January that displacing Palestinians from Gaza would represent an injustice that Egypt would not condone. During a press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto, Sisi highlighted Egypt’s continuous warnings against attempts to create unbearable living conditions in Gaza that might compel displacement. He expressed strong disapproval of historical injustices faced by the Palestinian people, stating that they should never be repeated.
President Sisi emphasized the potential for widespread public dissent in Egypt should any efforts to displace Palestinians occur, stating, “Do not participate in injustice.” He underscored the commitment to stand against any political maneuvers that would undermine Palestinian rights. Moreover, his stance aligns with Egypt’s rejection of past proposals from figures like former U.S. President Donald Trump, who suggested relocating Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan. This stance has been consistently supported by King Abdullah II of Jordan, reinforcing the regional consensus against such displacement proposals.
Egypt maintains a principled stance against the displacement of Palestinians, emphasizing support for their rights and statehood. Both Prime Minister Madbouly and President Sisi have denounced any actions that would result in Palestinian displacement, highlighting their commitment to justice and regional stability. The unequivocal rejection of such proposals reflects Cairo’s broader diplomatic strategy in the region.
