An Egyptian delegation has traveled to Washington, D.C., to contest Trump’s Gaza plans aimed at forcibly relocating Palestinians. Led by prominent figures from the Mubarak era, they advocate for a political resolution to the ongoing crisis without forced displacement, while emphasizing compliance with international law.
An unofficial Egyptian delegation has arrived in Washington, D.C., to counter U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for the forced relocation of Palestinians. Their objective is to clarify Egypt’s stance on the ongoing Gaza crisis to American officials, Congress members, and influential think tanks. The delegation includes prominent figures experienced in Western diplomacy from the Mubarak era.
The delegation is led by Amr Moussa, the former Arab League Secretary-General and Foreign Minister, a notable advocate for Palestinian rights. Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour, a leader from the Wafd Party with previous ministerial roles, and Mohamed Kamal, a political science professor connected to Mubarak’s National Democratic Party, are also key members. Hossam Badrawi, a physician and former Secretary-General of the National Democratic Party, completes the group.
During their visit, the Egyptian delegation will engage in high-level discussions with U.S. officials, congressional members, and influential think tanks like the Council on Foreign Relations and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Their main message emphasizes that any forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza is unacceptable and that a viable resolution should be achieved through political means rather than military action.
Egypt has firmly opposed any plans for the expulsion of Palestinians, asserting that such actions would threaten regional and Egyptian security. This stance has been communicated to Washington and other international entities, insisting that any solutions abide by international law and existing legal frameworks.
The timing of this delegation is critical as calls are increasing for the U.S. administration to revise its Gaza policies. This comes after months of intensive Israeli military operations that have severely impacted the region and resulted in significant civilian casualties.
The Egyptian delegation’s visit to Washington highlights Cairo’s strong opposition to any plans of displacing Palestinians from Gaza. By stressing the need for peace through political dialogue rather than military force, Egypt is positioning itself as a key player in advocating for regional stability and security. Their meetings with U.S. officials underscore the importance of international law in resolving the Gaza crisis.
