The Egyptian presidency on Tuesday rejected proposals aimed at permanently displacing Palestinians from Gaza - a plan attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump - in a bid to prevent the "liquidation" of the Palestinian cause and to protect the national security of countries across the region.
In a statement released by the Egyptian presidency, officials condemned the idea of displacing over 2 million Palestinians from Gaza, arguing that such a move would not only erase a historic struggle but also destabilize regional security. Trump’s plan, which envisions asserting U.S. control over Gaza and converting the territory into an international beach resort, has provoked widespread anger throughout the Arab world.
In response to the proposal, Egypt is set to host an emergency Arab League summit on March 4, where leaders from Gulf states, Egypt, and Jordan are expected to convene. The summit is aimed at countering the displacement plan and addressing calls for Egypt and Jordan to resettle Palestinians from Gaza—a proposal both countries have rejected on national security grounds.
Last Friday, Arab leaders met in Riyadh to discuss the issue, with sources indicating that discussions revolved around an Egyptian-led initiative that could potentially involve up to $20 billion in funding over three years from Gulf and Arab states. However, no official confirmation has been provided regarding the funding proposal.
The move has heightened fears among Palestinians of a repeat of the "Nakba"—the catastrophe during which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were expelled or fled their homes around the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. As the regional debate intensifies, Arab leaders and Palestinian representatives continue to oppose any plan that would permanently alter the demographics of Gaza.
