Egypt Rejects Trump's Plan to Deport Palestinians from Gaza
Egypt Stands Firm Against Trump's Proposal
According to Israel's Army Radio, Egypt has informed the White House that it refuses to participate in former President Donald Trump's plan to deport Palestinians from Gaza. This rejection comes amid ongoing diplomatic discussions between Egyptian and American officials.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held talks in Washington on Monday with key U.S. figures, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. The discussions focused on achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, facilitating humanitarian aid, and reconstruction efforts.
Egypt's Official Position
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement reiterating Cairo’s firm stance on Palestinian rights. The statement emphasized that Egypt rejects any attempt to undermine Palestinian sovereignty and stressed the need for a just resolution that upholds international legitimacy.
"Egypt calls on the international community to adopt an approach that respects the rights of all peoples in the region without discrimination, including the Palestinian people, who face unprecedented injustice," the statement declared.
Egypt also warned that disregarding international law in handling regional conflicts could jeopardize long-term peace efforts.

Trump's Controversial Plan: Buying Gaza
Reports suggest that Trump's plan aimed to "buy Gaza" by investing in its reconstruction, but only after relocating its Palestinian population to Egypt and Jordan. This idea sparked widespread rejection across the Arab and Islamic world.
Egypt’s refusal to support this plan aligns with the broader Arab consensus, which upholds the Palestinian right to self-determination and territorial integrity. Cairo’s rejection is also a response to growing concerns that such a move would lead to the forced displacement of Palestinians, violating international human rights laws.

The Geopolitical Implications
Egypt’s rejection of the plan carries significant geopolitical implications. It reinforces Cairo’s position as a key regional mediator, maintaining stability while preventing any scenario that could destabilize its own security.
Additionally, Egypt's firm stance strengthens its diplomatic relations with other Arab nations that also oppose any forced population transfers. The refusal to support Trump's plan also highlights the growing divide between Washington's Middle East strategies and the region’s actual geopolitical realities.
With ongoing conflict in Gaza, Egypt continues to advocate for peace efforts, ceasefires, and reconstruction without compromising Palestinian rights.
As global attention remains fixed on the crisis, Egypt's unwavering position signals a strong commitment to ensuring a fair and just resolution in the Middle East.
