Cairo conference on Gaza champions Egyptian, Arab rejection of any Palestinian displacement: Statement
The Gaza & the Future of Peace and Stability in the Middle East Conference, co-sponsored by the Egyptian Center for Strategic Studies (ECSS) and the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs (ECFA) in Cairo, issued a final statement after a busy day of panel discussions that featured a broad spectrum of Egyptian and Arab strategic analysts, politicians, and media figures.
The statement stressed that recent proposals to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip should not be viewed solely within the narrow scope of reconstructing Gaza but rather as part of broader attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause - an approach that aligns with Israeli schemes pursued for over eight decades.
The statement commended Cairo's firm political stance in rejecting all proposals and attempts to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip.
It noted that Cairo views any attempts to displace the Palestinians to the Sinai Peninsula as a red line for the Egyptian state and society.
The statement condemned floating displacement plans for trumpeting the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.
'Such plans violate international norms and laws and constitute ethnic cleansing and a crime against humanity that must be prevented and opposed,' the statement read.
"Those propagating such plans must be held accountable," it added.
Applauding Egypt's plan for Gaza reconstruction
The statement commended Egypt's ongoing efforts to formulate a comprehensive project for reconstructing the Gaza Strip without any displacement of the native population.
It noted that the Egyptian vision for the reconstruction of the strip would be presented at the upcoming emergency Arab summit, called by Egypt at the request of the Palestinian Authority and set for 4 March in Cairo, to secure collective Arab support for the plan.
The statement emphasized that post-war reconstruction and conflict resolution models in various regions worldwide have been based on returning refugees and displaced persons in the native population to their homes.
It noted that reconstruction efforts are not fundamentally incompatible with the presence of the native population on their land.
The statement praised the US' efforts in reaching the Gaza ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which paused the 15-month Israeli genocidal war on the strip, while looking forward to a leading role for Washington in solidifying the agreement and pushing forward the Middle East peace process.
Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab nations have rejected all recent US/Israeli proposals and schemes for the displacement of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, while stressing that the two-state solution is the only guarantee for regional peace and security.
Egypt has recently announced that the country possesses the will and capabilities to rebuild the Gaza Strip in three years.

Hamas Appeals to UN and Security Council to End Gaza Siege
H-Tayea The Palestinian movement Hamas has called for an independent international investigation into what it described as Israel's systematic crimes, urging the prosecution of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders. In an official statement, Hamas emphasized the need for the United Nations and its affiliated agencies to remain the sole legitimate and neutral parties responsible for the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza. The movement further appealed for an urgent intervention by the UN Security Council and the international community to halt what it termed as 'acts of genocide' and to lift the siege on the people of Gaza. Meanwhile, in a separate development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared in court on Monday for what is known as a 'cross-examination session' as part of his ongoing corruption trial. According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Netanyahu's attorney, Amit Hadad, requested the session be cut short due to an "important diplomatic call." However, he did not disclose the nature of the call and noted that current legal restrictions prohibit him from direct communication with the Prime Minister during the cross-examination proceedings. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
