NEW ALAMEIN, Egypt, Aug 17 (MENA) – Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Sunday reaffirmed Egypt's unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and its opposition to any plans aimed at displacing Palestinians or undermining their right to statehood. In a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa in the coastal city of New Alamein, Madbouly stressed Egypt's commitment to ending Gaza war and supporting the Palestinian people's legitimate rights, including the establishment of an independent state based on the 1967 borders with Al Quds (East Jerusalem) as its capital. He reiterated Egypt's rejection of continued settlement expansion, home demolitions, and attempts to alter the demographic reality on the ground. Madbouly also underlined Egypt's ongoing humanitarian support through the Rafah border crossing and its diplomatic efforts with Qatar and the United States to broker a ceasefire and ensure sustainable aid delivery. The two sides discussed preparations for a Cairo conference on early recovery and reconstruction in Gaza, which Egypt plans to host following a ceasefire. Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates Minister Badr Abdelatty praised the level of Egyptian-Palestinian coordination and emphasized the importance of engaging international donors in the post-conflict recovery phase.

OPEN// Egyptian, Algerian FMs assert their rejection of Israeli cabinet's decision to expand aggression on Gaza
CAIRO, Aug 16 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptians Abroad Badr Abdelatty and Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad Ahmed Attaf asserted their firm rejection of the Israeli cabinet's decision to expand its military aggression on Gaza. They condemned the move as a dangerous escalation aimed at entrenching the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories and continuing the systematic genocide against the unarmed Palestinian people, a blatant violation of international law and humanitarian law and a direct attack on the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state. This came during a phone call on Saturday between the two ministers as part of the ongoing coordination and consultation between the two brotherly nations. Abdelatty offered condolences to the Algerian government and people following the tragic bus accident in Algiers, which resulted in several fatalities and injuries. He wished the injured a speedy recovery and emphasized Egypt's full solidarity with Algeria in this difficult time. The call touched on bilateral cooperation, with both ministers expressing satisfaction over the growing momentum in Egyptian-Algerian relations in recent months. They agreed to continue working together to deepen cooperation across various fields and to leverage the current momentum to strengthen political, economic and development partnerships, in line with the aspirations of both peoples for stability and prosperity. On the situation in Gaza, Abdelatty briefed his Algerian counterpart on Egypt's ongoing efforts to broker a comprehensive ceasefire agreement, facilitate the release of hostages and detainees, and ensure the unrestricted flow of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave. Both sides underscored the urgent need for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, swift and unconditional delivery of humanitarian and medical assistance and an end to Israel's systematic policies of starvation and indiscriminate killing, which only serve to fuel extremism and violence. The two ministers reiterated their unequivocal rejection of Israel's illegal settlement policies and expansion in occupied Palestinian territories, denouncing them as serious violations of international law and a major obstacle to achieving a comprehensive and just peace. The call also addressed regional developments, particularly in Libya, where Abdelatty stressed the importance of preserving Libya's sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity. He reaffirmed Egypt's support for the UN-led peace process and the need for a Libyan-led political solution, including the withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries, and the dismantling of militias.

OPEN// Egypt rejects Israeli plans to displace Palestinians, warns of legal and regional consequences
CAIRO, Aug 17 (MENA) - Egypt has firmly renewed its rejection of any Israeli plans to displace Palestinians from their historical homeland, whether in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, under any pretext—be it forced or voluntary. It condemned all forms of displacement, including those carried out through policies of starvation, land confiscation, settlement expansion, or by making life unlivable for Palestinians in their own land. In a statement issued on Sunday, the foreign ministry expressed Egypt's deep concern over recent reports suggesting that Israel has held consultations with certain countries regarding the potential resettlement of Palestinian refugees from Gaza. The ministry criticized these discussions as part of a broader, rejected Israeli strategy to depopulate Palestinian territories and undermine the Palestinian cause. Egypt emphasized that it will not accept, support, or participate in any plans that involve the displacement of Palestinians, calling such proposals a historic injustice that lacks any moral or legal legitimacy. The statement urged the international community—particularly peace-supporting nations—to reject complicity in such an "immoral and illegal crime" that would violate the principles of international humanitarian law, constitute a war crime, and amount to ethnic cleansing. It further noted such actions would blatantly breach the four Geneva Conventions. Finally, Egypt warned of the grave historical and legal consequences that would befall any party involved in or facilitating such displacement. It also stressed the potential for far-reaching political repercussions across the region and beyond if such policies were to proceed. (MENA) M H K/R E E
