Gaza (MidLand) – Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi reiterated his rejection of plans to forcibly relocate Gazans inside or outside Palestinian territory.
In his meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen who is visiting Cairo, Sisi discussed developments in Gaza, where Israeli air and ground attacks since October 7 have killed more than 12,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children.
During the meeting, the Egyptian presidential office said Sisi reiterated “Egypt’s position regarding the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, protecting civilians and ensuring the delivery of aid to the people of Gaza who are experiencing terrible humanitarian suffering”.
He highlighted Egypt’s “firm rejection of the forced relocation of Palestinians, both inside and outside their homeland, especially in the Egyptian lands of Sinai.”

“The president of the European Commission agreed with the Egyptian president and reiterated Europe’s position to reject the forced transfer.”
Both sides stressed that “the only solution to the Palestinian problem lies in achieving a comprehensive and just peace based on the two-state solution, in accordance with agreed international references.”
The Israeli army continues to ask residents of the Gaza Strip to move south near the Egyptian border.
The UN estimates that at least 1.5 million people in Gaza have fled to other Palestinian territories, many of whom have found refuge in UN facilities.
