Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has firmly rejected any plans for the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza. This stance was reiterated during a visit by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who praised Egypt's steadfastness in defending Palestinian rights. According to Wafa news agency, el-Sisi emphasized Egypt's "firm stance against the displacement of the Palestinian people or any attempt to annihilate the Palestinian cause."
Abbas also highlighted Gaza's integral status within Egypt, expressing support for Egypt's position. In a separate development, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had earlier suggested that the Israeli army would "finish the job" in Gaza, with the aim of implementing a "migration plan" for Palestinians. Katz had previously stated that Israel is prepared to remove Palestinians from Gaza by sea and land, but was awaiting guidance from the United States on potential destinations for the two million Palestinians.
The situation in Gaza remains dire following three years of conflict that has resulted in the displacement of nearly all of Gaza's population and significant destruction of the territory. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained that Israel will not withdraw from Gaza, despite a US-backed ceasefire plan that entered effect in October, which required Israel's withdrawal as a condition.
