Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty announced on Sunday that Egypt has a concrete plan for the reconstruction of Gaza that does not involve the displacement of Palestinians from their homeland.
“We have a definitive plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip that ensures no citizen is expelled from their homeland. Our vision is clear on this matter,” Abdelatty stated during a joint press conference in Cairo.
He was joined by Djibouti’s Foreign Minister Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ali Youssef Ahmed, and UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza, Sigrid Kaag.
Djibouti’s Foreign Minister expressed his country’s support for Egypt’s position and commended President Abdel Fattah El-Sissi’s efforts toward achieving a ceasefire. Youssouf emphasized the unified Arab stance, stating that a lasting resolution requires the establishment of a Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with Israel.
Egypt’s rejection of displacement indirectly addresses US President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Egypt and Jordan should accommodate Palestinians from Gaza. Both Egypt and Jordan, along with key regional players such as Saudi Arabia, firmly dismissed the proposal.
As tensions persist, Egypt remains committed to supporting Gaza’s reconstruction while advocating for a sustainable, long-term resolution to the crisis.
