CAIRO, March 21 (Bernama-QNA) -- Egypt has categorically denied claims circulated by some media outlets that it is prepared to temporarily relocate half a million Gaza residents to a designated city in North Sinai as part of Gaza's reconstruction, Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.
The Egyptian State Information Service (SIS) issued a statement on Friday, affirming the falsehood of these baseless allegations, which fundamentally and completely contradict Egypt's firm and principled stance declared from the early days of the genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.
"Egypt has resolutely and definitively rejected any attempt to forcibly or voluntarily displace Palestinian brothers and sisters to any location outside Gaza, especially to Egyptian territories, as this would represent the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and pose an imminent threat to Egypt's national security," SIS said.
It concluded its statement by emphasising that Egypt's steadfast and clear position forms the basis of the plan it presented at the recent Cairo-hosted emergency Arab summit for Gaza's reconstruction.
This plan, which Egypt proposed to support Gaza's rebuilding without relocating a single Palestinian brother or sister from the Palestinian territories, was unanimously approved by the summit, the statement said.
