Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reaffirmed Egypt’s position of completely rejecting any Israeli attempts to displace Palestinians out of Gaza, voluntarily or forcibly.
This came in response to statements made by Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer regarding encouraging Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to immigrate outside the Strip.
Abu Zeid pointed out that all Israeli practices on the ground confirm the occupation’s intentions to force the forced displacement of Palestinians outside their lands.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that Israeli practices in the Gaza Strip are a flagrant violation of the rules of international law and international humanitarian law, and contradict Tel Aviv’s responsibilities as the occupying power in accordance with Article 49 of the Geneva Conventions.
He called on Israel to immediately stop bombing and targeting Palestinian civilians, and to impose humanitarian conditions and conditions that make the Gaza Strip an unviable, safe and stable area for Palestinians.
