Egypt expressed its approval of U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks stating that no Palestinians would be expelled from the Gaza Strip.
During a White House meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin on Wednesday, Trump responded to a question by affirming, "Nobody is expelling any Palestinians from Gaza."
The Egyptian foreign ministry issued a statement applauding this position, noting that it "reflects an understanding of the need to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the importance of finding fair, sustainable solutions to the Palestinian issue."
This welcome shift comes in contrast to Trump’s earlier proposals, which included suggestions for a U.S. takeover of Gaza and calls for the permanent displacement of its residents. These controversial ideas had sparked widespread criticism amid an ongoing conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives during Israel’s military operations over the past 17 months.
Palestinian militant group Hamas also responded positively to Trump’s apparent retreat from his previous displacement proposal, urging him not to align with what it described as the vision of the "extreme Zionist right."
The new stance coincides with broader regional efforts to rebuild and stabilize Gaza. In early March, Arab leaders adopted a $53 billion Egyptian reconstruction plan for the enclave, aiming to foster recovery without displacing Palestinians—a plan intended to counter earlier proposals that envisioned Gaza as a "Middle East Riviera."
As the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains precarious, Egypt’s support for Trump’s current remarks underscores a shared regional interest in mitigating further suffering and promoting sustainable peace in the region.
