Egypt rejects Trump’s plans to displace Palestinians
CAIRO, Jan. 28 (YPA) – Egypt’s Foreign Ministry announced its rejection of US President Donald Trump’s proposal to displace Palestinians from their land.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a news statement on Sunday evening that Egypt adheres to the constants and determinants of the political settlement of the Palestinian issue.
The statement added that it would remain the central issue in the Middle East, stressing ending the occupation and returning the usurped rights of the Palestinian people is the basis of instability in the region.
It reiterated Egypt’s continued support for the steadfastness of the Palestinian people on its land and adherence to their legitimate rights in its land and homeland.
The ministry’s statement also stressed its rejection of any infringement of these inalienable rights, whether through settlement or annexation of land, or by evacuating that land of its owners through displacement or encouraging the transfer or uprooting of Palestinians from their land.
It noted that these moves threatens stability and portends further extension of the conflict to the region, and undermines the chances of peace and coexistence among its peoples.
The statement called on the international community to work to begin the actual implementation of the two-state solution, including the establishment of the Palestinian state on its entire national territory and within the context of the unity of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Al Quds, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the lines of June 4, 1967.
