Egypt will not participate in the displacement of Palestinians, an "act of injustice" that would threaten Egyptian security, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said on Wednesday in his first public response to U.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt will not participate in the displacement of Palestinians, which would be an "act of injustice", President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said on Wednesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump said Egypt and Jordan should take in residents of the Gaza Strip.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi declared Wednesday that his country will not participate in any forced displacement of Palestinians, calling it “an act of injustice we cannot be part of.” Speaking at a joint press conference in Cairo with Kenyan President William Ruto, Sisi reiterated Egypt’s firm stance on the Palestinian cause.

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi asserted on Wednesday that Egypt “cannot participate in the injustice of displacing the Palestinian people.”El-Sisi asserted that such displacement "can never be tolerated or allowed" due to its potential threat to Egypt's national security in his first public comment on Trump's recent proposals to relocate the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
