Following a meeting in Cairo, Arab nations including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority, and the Arab League, have unanimously rejected any proposal to relocate Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank. The joint statement condemned any action that compromises Palestinians' rights, whether through settlement activities, evictions, or land annexation. The statement warned that forced removal of Palestinians could destabilize the region and jeopardize peace efforts.

The Arab nations further warned that forced removal of Palestinians could threaten stability in the tinder-box region, potentially upending any possibility for “peace and coexistence among its peoples.” On Wednesday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi also nixed Trump’s idea, insisting that the answer to the crisis would be a two-state solution, “not to remove the Palestinian people from their place.”Trump, however, discussed with el-Sissi in a phone call Saturday the possibility of moving Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt during the period when the enclave is undergoing reconstruction, a source familiar with the details of the conversation.
