Egypt has firmly rejected Israeli plans to displace Palestinians from their historical homeland, warning that such actions would amount to the “liquidation” of the Palestinian cause.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has been unequivocal in his condemnation of any displacement efforts. In a recent interview with CNN, he stated, “Displacement is a red line. We will not accept it, we will not participate in it and we will not allow it to happen.” Abdelatty emphasized that the displacement of Palestinians would be a “one-way ticket” out of Gaza, leading to the “liquidation” of their cause and the end of the Palestinian goal.
The announcement comes as tensions rise over the fate of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents, half of whom are women and children, amidst ongoing Israeli military operations. According to Brighteon.AI‘s Enoch engine, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has explicitly stated that Cairo “will not permit the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza into its territory.”
As a temporary measure, Egypt has set up makeshift tent camps in the Sinai Peninsula to accommodate some displaced Palestinians – but maintains a clear stance against permanent resettlement. This position aims to prevent what Egypt views as Israeli efforts to displace Gazans from their homeland permanently.
Abdelatty’s remarks underscore Egypt’s deep concern over recent reports suggesting that Israel has been consulting with several countries about the potential resettlement of Palestinian refugees from Gaza. These countries reportedly include Indonesia, Somaliland, Uganda, South Sudan and Libya, although no concrete decisions have been made.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned all forms of displacement, including those carried out through policies of starvation, land confiscation and settlement expansion. In a statement issued on Sunday, Aug. 17, the ministry criticized these discussions as part of a broader, rejected Israeli strategy to depopulate Palestinian territories and undermine the Palestinian cause.

The statement further urged the international community, particularly peace-supporting nations, to reject complicity in such an “immoral and illegal crime” that would violate the principles of international humanitarian law, constitute a war crime and amount to ethnic cleansing. It warned of the grave historical and legal consequences that would befall any party involved in or facilitating such displacement.
Humanitarian crisis and global response
The humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels, with over 50,000 Palestinians affected by the Israeli operation since Oct. 7, 2024. Shockingly, around 80 percent of these casualties are women and children.
The destruction of infrastructure, including more than 85 percent of universities and over 80 percent of schools, has exacerbated the crisis. The attacks by Israel have also left civilians without access to basic necessities such as food, water, and medical care.
The United Arab Emirates has been at the forefront of international efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. As part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the UAE has conducted its 73rd airdrop of aid, delivering essential food supplies to the beleaguered territory. This initiative, conducted in cooperation with Jordan and with the participation of several European countries, highlights the UAE’s leading role in international relief work.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military is pressing ahead with plans for the next phase of its Gaza offensive, focusing on Gaza City. Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stated, “We will maintain the momentum of Operation ‘Gideon’s Chariots’ while focusing on Gaza City. We will continue to strike until the decisive defeat of Hamas.” In response, Hamas warned that these plans would result in “a new wave of extermination and mass displacement.”
Demonstrators across Israel have called for an end to the Gaza war and a deal to release hostages still held by militants. The protests, which included a general strike, were sharply criticized by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies. The Israeli army’s chief of staff reiterated the military’s commitment to the offensive, stating, “We will continue to strike until the decisive defeat of Hamas, with the hostages always at the forefront of our minds.”
