Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi says that the forced displacement of Gazans is an “injustice that we cannot take part in,” after US President Donald Trump floated a plan to move Palestinians from the territory to Egypt and Jordan.
“The constants of Egypt’s historic position on the Palestinian cause…. can never be compromised,” Sissi says during a news conference in Cairo with Kenyan President William Ruto.
Sissi says Egypt supports “the establishment of a Palestinian state and the preservation of its capabilities, particularly its people and its territory.”
He adds that Egypt is “determined to work with President Trump, who seeks to achieve the desired peace based on the two-state solution.
“We believe that President Trump is capable of fulfilling this long-awaited goal of establishing a just and lasting peace in the Middle East.”
After the Israel-Hamas ceasefire came into force on January 19, Trump touted a plan to “clean out” the Gaza Strip, reiterating the idea on Monday as he called for Palestinians to move to “safer” locations such as Egypt or Jordan.
