Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly firmly rejected any proposals to forcibly displace or relocate Palestinians from Gaza, stressing Egypt’s unwavering stance on preserving Palestinian rights and territorial integrity.
Speaking on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the opening session of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Madbouly addressed world leaders, highlighting the severe crises confronting the international community—including geopolitical tensions, economic instability, debt crises, climate change, and the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
Madbouly described the Israeli military campaign in Gaza, ongoing for nearly two years, as the gravest crisis of the present time, citing the deaths of more than 55,000 Palestinians, two-thirds of whom were women and children, along with approximately 125,000 injured.
He condemned Israel’s violations of international law and humanitarian principles, not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including continued settlement activities on occupied Palestinian land.
The Prime Minister noted Egypt’s joint mediation efforts with Qatar and the United States that led to a ceasefire agreement on January 15. However, he said Israeli attacks on civilians violated that truce.
Madbouly called for an immediate restoration of the ceasefire and urged Israel to halt all military actions and comply with international humanitarian law to protect civilians.
He categorically rejected any plans aimed at displacing Gaza’s population, warning that such proposals threaten not only the prospect of a two-state solution but also broader regional peace.
