Egyptians protest on Gaza border against call for resettling Palestinians
Thousands of Egyptians on Friday gathered near the border with the Gaza Strip in a protest against US President Donald Trump's call for resettling Palestinian survivors in the war-devastated enclave in Arab countries, state media reported. Egypt's state-linked al-Qahera News television showed footage of protesters congregating outside the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing bordering Gaza. Some protesters were seen waving the Egyptian and Palestinian flags. Others carried placards reading, "No to the displacement of Palestinians"; and "We all are with you, Sissi" in support of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi's opposition to any suggestion to relocate Palestinians. State-run newspaper al-Ahram reported online that the crowd voiced rejection of any solutions "aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause or infringing on Palestinians' sovereignty over their lands." Trump last week told journalists that Egypt and Jordan should take in the Gazans in a solution that "could be temporary" or "could be long-term." In his first public comment on Trump's idea, al-Sissi Wednesday said his country would not participate in the displacement of Palestinians, calling it an "injustice." Egypt, a US ally, was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. Earlier this month, Egypt along with the United States and Qatar brokered another ceasefire in the Gaza war between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement after months of on-and-off negotiations.
