Egypt's FM, Palestinian delegation talk developments in Gaza, West Bank
CAIRO - 5 April 2025: Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Badr Abdelatty received a delegation on Saturday from the Palestinian Fatah movement, where they discussed the developments in Gaza and the West Bank. The delegation was headed by Lieutenant General Jibril Rajoub, Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee, and including Rawhi Fattouh, Speaker of the National Council, and Dr. Mohammad Shtayyeh, member of the Fatah Central Committee and former Palestinian Prime Minister. Ambassador Tamim Khallaf, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the meeting witnessed an exchange of views and assessments regarding current developments in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, in light of the dangerous Israeli escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories. Minister Abdelatty reviewed the latest developments in Egyptian efforts aimed at restoring the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and resuming the flow of humanitarian aid as soon as possible. Abdelatty emphasized Egypt's supportive stance towards the Palestinian Authority and affirmed its rejection of Israeli attempts to undermine the unity of the Palestinian territories and separate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. During the meeting, the Foreign Minister stressed Egypt's complete rejection of the ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, Israel's aggressive policy in the region, and its use of brutal military force without the slightest regard for international humanitarian law. He also emphasized the continued extremist practices of the Israeli occupation against civilians, and its treatment of Israel as a state above the law. He added that the illusion of power will not help Israel achieve the security it envisions. Rather, the atrocities it is committing will only intensify feelings of hatred and revenge against it in the region, and will place further obstacles to peaceful coexistence among the peoples of the region. This will have a profoundly negative impact on its security, stability, and the prospects for achieving sustainable peace in the region. He warned of the consequences of the continued shameful international silence regarding the events in the occupied Palestinian territories. Minister Abdelatty reiterated Egypt's rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their land, addressing the Arab-Islamic plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. He emphasized the importance of strengthening Palestinian unity and the role of the Palestinian National Authority, ensuring the fulfillment of the aspirations and hopes of the Palestinian people and the achievement of a permanent and just solution to the Palestinian issue through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967, lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Palestinian Politician Jibril Rajoub: The Grandchildren Of The Victims Of The 'Lie' Of The Holocaust Are Perpetrating A Holocaust In Gaza, Using The Same Methods; Hamas Should Let The Palestinian Auth
Palestinian politician Jibril Rajoub, secretary of the Fatah Central Committee, said in a January 31, 2025 appearance on Al-Iraqiyah TV (Iraq) that what is happening now in Gaza is a "holocaust." He said that the grandchildren of the "lie" of the Holocaust are using the same methods in Gaza. Rajoub continued to suggest that Hamas welcomes a Palestinian Authority takeover of Gaza, allowing it to be the party that talks to the international community, instead of having Hamas negotiating with Israel. Jibril Rajoub: "The Israelis have built their lie on the Holocaust. Well, what is happening in Gaza? All of it is a 'caust.' It is a holocaust. It is the same version, and the same method. The only... Someone did this, but unfortunately, the grandchildren of the Holocaust victims are the ones committing a holocaust in Gaza. [...] "I hope that all my brothers, in all the national action factions, do not succumb to all the enticements or pressures. I was hoping that our brothers in Hamas, from day one, would not enter any negotiations or talks with Netanyahu or anyone else. Rather, they should have said: 'We welcome the Palestinian Authority. It should come and take over Gaza, and be the party that starts talks with the international community.'"
