Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reiterated Egypt’s rejection of Palestinian displacement plans during a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa. He affirmed support for Palestinian rights, including self-determination and statehood based on the 1967 borders. President El-Sisi previously labeled any displacement as unacceptable, highlighting the historical injustices faced by Palestinians. U.S. proposals for relocating Gazans have faced strong opposition from Egyptian and Jordanian leadership.
On March 1, 2025, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reiterated Egypt’s firm rejection of any plans that involve the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. This statement was made during his meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa in Cairo, emphasizing Egypt’s unwavering support for Palestinian rights.
Madbouly asserted the importance of recognizing the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This reflects a longstanding Egyptian commitment to Palestinian sovereignty.
In January, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi condemned any efforts to displace Palestinians from Gaza, labeling such actions as an injustice that Egypt cannot endorse. He has consistently warned against creating unbearable living conditions in Gaza that could lead to displacement since the start of the recent Israeli conflict in October 2023.
Sisi highlighted the historical injustices faced by Palestinians and made it clear that any attempts to repeat such displacements would provoke a strong response from the Egyptian public. He expressed the importance of participation in justice against any form of injustice.
Previous attempts by U.S. President Trump to propose relocating Gazans to Egypt or Jordan met with firm opposition from both Sisi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II. This underscores the regional consensus against displacement and for the rights of Palestinians in their homeland.
In summary, both Egyptian leaders stress their commitment to opposing the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and affirm the importance of Palestinian self-determination. Egypt’s position reflects a broader regional stance against injustice towards the Palestinian people and emphasizes historical awareness and solidarity with their plight.
