The U.S. has offered Egypt billions in aid for accepting 500,000-700,000 Gazans, mediated by UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed. If Egypt declines, the aid will go to another nation. Egypt has publicly denied accepting such displacements, asserting it threatens national security and the Palestinian cause.
The U.S. has made a significant proposition to Egypt, requesting the acceptance of 500,000-700,000 Gazans in exchange for billions in economic aid. This information surfaced from the London-based Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed news site. The offer was reportedly communicated to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi through UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan during a visit to Egypt.
The U.S. emphasized that substantial economic support would be extended to Egypt if they accept the proposed influx of Gazans. However, if Egypt declines, the U.S. plans to redirect the aid to other countries willing to accept the Gazans. Additionally, a source indicated that a refusal might jeopardize the considerable U.S. aid currently extended to Egypt.
Reports from Arab media suggested that Egypt initially agreed to transfer 500,000 Gazans to a designated location in northern Sinai for Gaza’s reconstruction. However, the Egyptian government quickly refuted these claims, reinforcing its stand against any displacement of Palestinians outside of Gaza.
Cairo asserted its full opposition to both forced and voluntary displacement of Palestinians, deeming it a serious threat to its national security and an undermining of the Palestinian cause. This position underscores Egypt’s reluctance to alter its long-standing policies regarding the Gaza conflict and its humanitarian implications.
The U.S. has presented Egypt with a compelling offer of economic aid contingent upon the acceptance of a significant number of Gazans. Egypt’s response has been a firm rejection of such displacements, emphasizing its commitment to Palestinian rights and its own national security. The situation highlights the complex interplay of international relations and humanitarian issues in the context of the Gaza conflict.
