Egypt categorically denied the allegations circulated by some media outlets that it is ready to temporarily transfer half a million residents from Gaza to a designated city in North Sinai as part of the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
The State Information Service (SIS) of Egypt confirmed, in a statement Friday, that these allegations are radically invalid and totally contradict Egypt's firm and principled position, which it announced since the early days of the war of extermination on Gaza in October 2023, with the categorical and final rejection of any attempt to displace the Palestinians from it, forcibly or voluntarily, to any place outside Gaza, especially to Egypt, as it represents a liquidation of the Palestinian cause and an imminent danger to Egyptian national security.
The Authority stressed that this firm and clear Egyptian position was based on and for the plan presented by Egypt at the last emergency Cairo Arab summit for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, without the departure of a single Palestinian, which was approved by the summit.
