ALBAWABA- Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi firmly rejected the displacement of Palestinians, calling it an injustice that Egypt refuses to participate in. 

In a speech today, Sisi reaffirmed Egypt’s unwavering stance on the Palestinian issue, emphasizing that the establishment of a Palestinian state and the protection of its people and territory are fundamental principles that cannot be compromised.

"I want to reassure the Egyptian people that it is absolutely impossible to allow any harm to Egyptian national security," Sisi declared, addressing growing concerns over proposals for the forced relocation of Palestinians.

His remarks come just two days after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan—a proposal that has sparked shock and controversy. 

The idea aligns with far-right Israeli calls for mass displacement, raising alarms among regional leaders. Egypt's stance echoes that of Jordan, which has also strongly opposed any forced displacement of Palestinians.

 On Monday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned of the grave consequences of such plans, reinforcing a united front against any attempts to expel Palestinians from their homeland.
