The channel "Al Arabiya" quoted Egyptian sources indicating the postponement of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's visit to Washington until further notice.

In a development reflecting Egypt's decisive stance regarding the Palestinian crisis, media sources confirmed that Egypt will not allocate any piece of land for the residents of the Gaza Strip, in response to circulating reports about American and Israeli pressures to resettle Palestinians outside the strip following the recent war.

The official Egyptian stance

• A firm rejection of any attempts at displacement: Cairo has repeatedly affirmed that Gaza is an integral part of Palestinian territory, and any attempts to alter the demographics of the strip are completely unacceptable.

• Commitment to the two-state solution: The Egyptian stance emphasizes that the only solution to the Palestinian issue is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, not the resettlement of Palestinians outside their homeland.

• Unassailable Egyptian sovereignty: Egypt rejects any proposals related to granting land within Sinai to accommodate Gaza residents, considering these suggestions an infringement on its national sovereignty.

In response to American and Israeli pressures

The Egyptian stance came after reports of American and Israeli proposals to resettle Gaza residents in areas outside the strip, including Sinai. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi had previously announced his firm rejection of any projects aimed at relocating Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, stressing that Egypt will not be a party to any plan aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.

Implications of this stance

1. Strengthening the Arab position: The Egyptian stance reinforces the Jordanian and Palestinian position rejecting any form of displacement.

2. Affirming Palestinian rights: This rejection ensures the continued demand for Palestinians' right to remain in their homeland and the rejection of solutions that ignore the historical and political reality.

3. Closing the door to any alternative international projects: The Egyptian rejection confirms that the solution must be political, not at the expense of neighboring countries.

What next?

• Egypt continues to play its diplomatic role in resolving the crisis by supporting efforts for calm and a ceasefire.

• Cairo is working to ensure the flow of humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza, while maintaining its sovereignty and borders.

• International pressures on Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinians to accept alternative solutions are expected to continue, but the Arab position seems united in rejecting any attempts to change the demographic composition of the region.

Conclusion

Egypt sends a clear message to the international community: Gaza is not for sale, and any solution that does not guarantee the rights of Palestinians to their independent state will not be acceptable. As the crisis continues, the Egyptian stance remains decisive in protecting Palestinian rights and maintaining Egyptian national security.
