Proposal to displace Palestinians from Gaza, ‘unrealistic': John Bolton
CAIRO – 14 March 2025: Former US National Security Advisor John Bolton said that the proposal to displace Palestinians from Gaza is 'unrealistic', explaining that Palestinians should stay in the Strip. Bolton stressed in statements to al Qahera news channel, on Friday, the need to work on rebuilding the Gaza Strip, explaining that the Egyptian government has all effective tools to help with Gaza reconstruction. 'We acknowledge Egypt's vital role in addressing the situation in the Gaza Strip,' Bolton said. Advisor to the Palestinian president, Mahmoud al-Habbash, stressed the importance of intensifying all efforts to begin implementing the Egyptian-Palestinian plan for the reconstruction of Gaza. In televised statements on Friday, al-Habbash stressed the need to 'turn the page' on the war and begin implementing the Arab vision crystallized at the emergency Arab Summit held in Cairo earlier this month. He also emphasized the need to implement the Egyptian-Palestinian plan to repair the damage caused by the Israeli aggression and rebuild normal life in the Gaza Strip, paving the way for the launch of a political process leading to an end to the occupation and a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue based on international legitimacy. A negotiating delegation from the Palestinian Islamic Movement (Hamas) headed to Cairo, on Friday, to meet with Egyptian officials and follow up on developments in the negotiations and the ceasefire agreement.
