Egypt warns Israel that mass displacement of Gazans is a ‘red line’
Egypt condemns Israeli talks with multiple countries about relocating Palestinians and warns such displacement violates international law and risks ending the Palestinian cause, officials said.
- On Monday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty declared displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip a 'red line' and vowed Cairo would not allow any party to risk Egypt’s national security or sovereignty.
- Israel’s far-right ministers have called for Palestinians' emigration from Gaza, which critics say amounts to ethnic cleansing, and last week Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed talks with South Sudan, Somaliland, Ethiopia, Libya and Indonesia.
- At the Rafah crossing, CNN observed dozens of aid trucks idle for weeks, while Abdelatty said 5,000 trucks wait on Egypt's side blocked by Israel.
- Egypt warned any party involved in displacement would bear historical and legal responsibility, stressing potential for far-reaching political repercussions across the region.
- With ceasefire talks entering a decisive phase, Cairo's control of Rafah positions Egypt as crucial for humanitarian relief while protecting sovereignty and regional stability.
