Egypt has reiterated its categorical rejection of any Israeli plans to forcibly displace Palestinians from their homeland, warning that such schemes represent a grave violation of international law and an attempt to erase the Palestinian cause.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Cairo said it has closely followed reports of alleged Israeli consultations with certain countries to accept the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza. Egypt stressed that its communications with those countries confirmed they had rejected such “disgraceful proposals.”
The statement underlined Egypt’s firm opposition to any Israeli attempts to expel Palestinians from either Gaza or the West Bank, whether under the guise of “voluntary relocation” or through coercive measures such as starvation, land confiscation, and settlement expansion designed to make life unbearable on Palestinian soil.
Egypt affirmed it will never accept or participate in such displacement, describing it as a “historical injustice” with no legal or moral justification, and warned that such actions would inevitably amount to the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.
Cairo also called on all peace-loving nations to refuse involvement in what it described as a war crime and act of ethnic cleansing, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.
Egypt further cautioned that any state complicit in these efforts would bear historical and legal responsibility for the consequences, including dangerous political repercussions at both regional and international levels.
