In a statement on Friday, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the comments as part of ongoing attempts to prolong escalation in the region and perpetuate instability while avoiding accountability for Israeli violations in Gaza. Egypt's Foreign Ministry reiterated its categorical rejection of forcibly or coercively displacing Palestinians from their land. [Egypt] stresses that these practices represent a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and amount to war crimes that cannot be tolerated, the ministry added. The statement affirmed that Egypt will never be complicit in such practices nor act as a conduit for Palestinian displacement, describing this as a red line that cannot be crossed.
