Egypt Rejects Plans for Forced Displacement of Palestinians
Cairo: Egypt has warned of the serious repercussions of statements issued by several Israeli government members regarding the implementation of a plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from their land, affirming that such statements constitute a blatant violation of international law, international humanitarian law, and the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people. According to Bahrain News Agency, Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs stressed that these irresponsible statements could have disastrous consequences, as they obstruct ceasefire negotiations, fuel the possibility of renewed conflict, and pose a threat to regional stability and the foundations of peace. Egypt reiterated its firm rejection of any plan or proposal aimed at eliminating the Palestinian cause by forcibly displacing Palestinians and seizing their land, affirming that it will not be part of any such initiative. The ministry warned of the grave consequences of these policies, which violate the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
