In a bold move 🌟, Egypt has firmly rejected any plans for the forced displacement of Palestinians after former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested \"cleaning out\" the Gaza Strip and relocating its people to Egypt and Jordan.
The Egyptian foreign ministry made a powerful statement, expressing \"continued support for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on their land.\" 🇪🇬❤️🇵🇸
\"We stand against any infringement on these inalienable rights,\" the statement read, \"whether by settlement or annexation of land, or by the depopulation of that land of its people through displacement, encouraged transfer, or the uprooting of Palestinians from their land, whether temporarily or long-term.\"
After 15 months of intense conflict, Trump declared that Gaza had become a \"demolition site\" and voiced his desire for Egypt and Jordan to take in the displaced people. 🏗️🚧
But Egypt isn't having it! President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, whom Trump mentioned he would contact, has repeatedly warned that such displacement aims to \"eradicate the cause for Palestinian statehood.\" 🚫🌍
Sisi labeled the idea a \"red line\" that threatens Egypt's national security. Talk about drawing the line! 🛑
The foreign ministry urged the world to focus on implementing the \"two-state solution,\" emphasizing that removing Palestinians from their territories would make this goal impossible. 🕊️✌️
Egypt and Jordan have consistently stood their ground since the Israel-Hamas war erupted in October 2023, voicing concerns over any plans that would push Palestinians out of their homeland. 🌍💪
