Egyptian and Jordanian leaders oppose displacing Palestinians

Egyptian President ⁣and Jordanian King Reiterate Opposition to Displacing Palestinians‍ in Gaza Strip

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah ⁣El-Sisi and ⁣Jordanian King ⁤Abdullah II met in Cairo ‌to discuss the ​war in Gaza and expressed their strong opposition to any attempts ⁢to displace Palestinians from or ​within the Gaza ⁤Strip. They called for an immediate ceasefire and the⁢ urgent delivery of humanitarian aid​ to the ​region.

Rejecting Displacement⁤ and Advocating for a Solution

“The two leaders affirmed their complete rejection of all attempts ‍to end the Palestinian cause ​or to displace the‌ Palestinians outside their lands⁢ or internally displace them, stressing that the only solution⁤ that the international community⁣ must push towards its implementation is an ⁢immediate⁤ ceasefire and the entry into⁢ force of relief aid,” the Egyptian⁣ Presidency statement ‌reads.

El-Sisi and ⁢Abdullah⁣ II also emphasized the need for a ‍fair and comprehensive solution to the ⁢conflict, including the establishment ‍of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, based ‍on the 1967 borders.

Israel had previously urged over a million Palestinians to evacuate from northern Gaza, and has since ⁣launched military operations in the densely populated southern Gaza. As a result,⁤ 85% of Gaza residents have ‌been⁣ forced to flee their homes, according⁢ to the United⁤ Nations.

Egypt has played ​a significant role in diplomatic ​efforts throughout the war, including brokering a weeklong ceasefire in November. ⁣Recently,‍ Egypt proposed a plan to permanently end the war, although its seriousness is uncertain.

A ​Proposal for Ceasefire and Hostage Release

The proposal suggests​ a⁢ two-week ceasefire, during which Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad would release 40 ⁤to 50 hostages, mainly women, sick people, and elderly‍ individuals. In return, Israel would release three times as many Palestinians from its prisons, following the 3-for-1 ratio agreed upon in the previous‍ ceasefire. Egypt‌ and Qatar, ⁣along with various ⁣Palestinian factions, would work towards establishing ‍a temporary government of experts and organizing elections.

Israeli leaders⁤ have stated their goals for ⁣the war, which include removing Hamas from ⁣power, demilitarizing the group, and “deradicalizing” ⁢Palestinians.

Overall, the meeting between El-Sisi ‌and Abdullah II highlights their commitment to finding a⁣ peaceful resolution to the conflict and ensuring⁢ the well-being ⁢of the Palestinian⁤ people in ‍Gaza.
