Egyptian president and UN chief reject any plans for displacement of Palestinians

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and UN secretary general Antonio Guterres have reaffirmed their opposition to any attempt to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza, condemning such plans as a violation of international law.

According to the Egyptian presidency, the two leaders discussed Cairo’s efforts to uphold the ceasefire, facilitate prisoner exchanges, and ensure the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

They also emphasised the urgent need to begin reconstruction in Gaza, rejecting US or Israeli schemes aimed at expelling Palestinians instead of allowing them to rebuild their homeland.
