Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has again rejected Israeli efforts to transfer Palestinians out of their territories in the Gaza Strip. Speaking at Police Day in Cairo on Saturday, Sissi warned that any such attempt would trigger a wave of refugees across the globe.

"I emphasise the necessity of halting the systematic practices against the Palestinian people in their occupied land and rejecting any attempts or efforts to displace them from their homeland," he said.

"I warn that the exodus of approximately two and a half million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and what this implies in terms of the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, will lead to the displacement of hundreds of thousands towards Europe and Western countries, with grave security, economic, and social repercussions that no one can bear.”

Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, Egypt has warned that displacing Palestinians from Gaza would nullify their demands for statehood.

Because it is Ethnic Cleansing and illegal.

Keeping them inside an open air prison concertation camp where they are being genocided is more illegal .

Destroying their habitat and then offering them relocation is still ethnic cleansing and illegal. Even if they choose to accept.

Sissi is not complicit for not accepting them, neither is Jordan, nor Saudi Arabia, Qatar or anywhere else.

It is the responsibility of the organization that destroyed their habitat to reinstate it.

So first destroy their everything, including in many instances family, then try to force them away since it has become an open air prison, followed by being upset if that reasoning is not accepted.

If the Palestinians wanted to leave Gaza and relocate elsewhere , would you support their choice or would you oppose it ?

Would you force the Palestinians to stay in their open air prison concertation camp and be subjected to genocide ?

If it is accepted (as stated by you) that it’s uninhabitable and an open air prison in Gaza, then a war crime has already been committed.

A coerced decision to leave is still Ethnic Cleansing and a war crime.

It’s fairly clear that Kushner’s swanky hotels are not for the Palestinians, we are watching another war crime pan out.

Egypt rejects Israeli efforts to transfer Gazans out of Gaza

They could do a swap with Israel. Gazans relocate to Israel and Israelis relocate to Gaza.

Sounds fair to me.

@Nick Carter icp the unwavering defender of the "undefendable", the last man standing to justify of the unjustifiable, finally admits, that Gaza is a CONCENTRATION CAMP and the Gazans are facing GENOCIDE.

TWICE!!

Nicky Boy, you made my day!

I take everything back, I wrote about my doubts on your mental status, I even apologize for that.

Good to know that you finally see it for what it is.

I can only hope more people open their eyes, especially in Israel, and find a way to a peaceful future together with the Palestinians, no matter if it will be a one-state-solution or a fair two-state-solution.

The Palestinians must accept the Jews are there and they are not leaving. And if they love their children and want to offer them a better life full of opportunities, fighting Israel should never be an option again as it will inevitably backfire tenfold or worse.

And the Israelis have to realize that oppressing the Palestinians and stealing their land to the point where they rather die fighting than enduring the mistreatment must stop if they want their dream of a prospering Israel as a safe haven for all Jews come true because until now it was quite the opposite of that.

True, the war would end if Hamas surrendered; that’s true of the other side in any war. But enemies rarely oblige, and Hamas’s unwillingness to surrender cannot justify what Israel has done with American complicity: the killing of an estimated 18,000 children, the starvation of a population and the leveling of entire neighborhoods. According to UNICEF, Gaza has the highest proportion of child amputees in the world.

I’ve covered many wars in my career, and Gaza is distinguished by its pointless destructiveness — at least 70 percent of Gaza’s buildings have been damaged or destroyed. Add to that the fact that the United States provides weaponry, other forms of military assistance and diplomatic cover to Israel that contribute to a war effort that includes a series of incidents that seem very likely to be war crimes.

I’ve talked to Gazans and to doctors and aid workers who have worked there. They all agree that Gazans are starving and dying of starvation. At some point, trying to dismiss hunger in Gaza amounts to a denial of a shameful reality.

It’s true that humanitarian organizations sometimes exaggerate — some were premature in 2024 to say that famine was already underway — but that is a reason for relentless empiricism and skepticism, not for crediting self-serving assertions by Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.

To their credit, some Israeli human rights groups and citizens have stepped forward to protest the horrors of Gaza. They should inspire all of us. What’s most important is not whether we are pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian; it’s that we be anti-massacre, anti-rape and anti-starvation.

For almost two years, Americans have seen what was going on in Gaza, yet our leaders enabled mass killing and starvation. Gaza represents not some distant and inevitable tragedy, but our own moral and practical failing. We have blood on our hands.

You miss the point entirely, Egypt and any other country is under no obligation to take people from a country being made uninhabitable and terrorised by Israel. The war criminal here is Israel, you already admitted that when you said "open air prison camp, concentration camp where the inmates are being subjected to genocide" or is there someone else in Gaza subjecting them to Genocide? pink fairies perhaps?

It's a normal function of sovereign states to patrol their borders and control immigration.

Should the UK & USA just open their borders to immigration?

You're talking nonsense.
