Egypt has rejected Trump’s plan to displace Palestinians, citing threats to their identity and security. An Arab League summit is scheduled for March 4 to counter this proposal. Recent discussions have raised concerns about funding for the plan, triggering fears among Palestinians regarding potential displacement akin to the Nakba.
Egypt has categorically rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to forcibly relocate the Palestinian population, stating that it would undermine the Palestinian cause and destabilize regional security. The Egyptian presidency condemned the proposal, which suggests displacing over 2 million Palestinians from Gaza and turning the area into an international resort under U.S. control.
In light of these developments, Egypt is organizing an emergency Arab League summit on March 4, aimed at countering Trump’s displacement proposal and rejecting the notion of resettling displaced Palestinians in Egypt or Jordan. Leaders of both nations have expressed significant national security concerns regarding any mandates for forced resettlement.
Recently, a meeting of Arab leaders from Gulf states, Egypt, and Jordan took place in Riyadh to deliberate on these issues. Reports indicate discussions surrounded an Egyptian plan potentially offering up to $20 billion in aid over three years, although no official announcement has been made regarding this proposal.
Palestinians have expressed alarm over these discussions, fearing parallels to the “Nakba,” which saw the mass displacement of Palestinians during the establishment of Israel in 1948. As regional tensions escalate, the forthcoming Arab League summit aims to strengthen a cohesive Arab stance for the protection of Palestinian rights and the maintenance of regional stability.
Egypt has firmly opposed Trump’s displacement plan for Palestinians, viewing it as a threat to both their identity and regional security. The country is convening an Arab League summit to unify responses against the proposal, amid rising fears reminiscent of historic displacements. The ongoing discussions among Arab leaders reflect the urgency and complexity of addressing Palestinian rights and regional stability.
