Hawzah News Agency- In a statement , the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said reports of Israeli consultations with foreign governments over potential relocation schemes were part of “an unacceptable Israeli policy aimed at emptying Palestinian land''.
“Egypt will not accept the displacement and will not participate in it, as it is a historical injustice that has no moral or legal justification'', the ministry said. It added that any attempt to push Palestinians from their land would “inevitably lead to the liquidation of the Palestinian cause''.
The statement stressed Egypt’s “absolute rejection” of any attempt to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip or the occupied West Bank, urging states worldwide not to “be involved in this immoral crime that contravenes all principles of international humanitarian law, constitutes a war crime and ethnic cleansing, and represents a clear violation of the four Geneva Conventions''.
Cairo also warned of “historical and legal responsibility” for any country that cooperates with such measures, saying the consequences would reverberate regionally and internationally.
The strong Egyptian rebuke came as the Israeli army announced preparations to ethnically cleanse a million residents from Gaza City, days after signaling a new offensive on the enclave’s largest urban center.
