Egypt and Arab partners reiterate opposition to Palestinian displacement Egypt said it had been in contact with Arab partners including Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to firm up the region’s rejection of any displacement of Palestinians after US President Donald Trump said they should be relocated from Gaza. Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty had been in communication with counterparts from 11 nations, a ministry statement said. They emphasised “the constants of the Arab position on the Palestinian cause, rejecting any measures aimed at displacing the Palestinian people from their land, or encouraging their transfer to other countries outside the Palestinian territories,” it said. Moreover, Egypt’s statement said moving Palestinians would represent a “flagrant viola- tion of international law, an infringement on Palestinian rights, a threat to security and sta- bility in the region and an undermining of opportunities for peace and coexistence among its peoples”.
