 Egypt Rejects Plans for Palestinian Displacement


Egypt has firmly opposed proposals to displace Palestinians, emphasizing its commitment to preserving the Palestinian cause and safeguarding regional security.

Last Friday, Arab leaders, including representatives from Gulf states, Egypt, and Jordan, convened in Riyadh to address the situation.
