CAIRO, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi has warned on Saturday that the displacement of over 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip would trigger severe security, economic, and social repercussions for Europe and the Western world.
Speaking during a celebration marking the 74th anniversary of Egyptian Police Day, Sisi said that the exit of these residents from Gaza would liquidate the Palestinian cause and push hundreds of thousands toward Europe and Western countries.
He cautioned that this would have grave consequences that no one has the capacity to bear.
Sisi stressed the need to halt systematic practices against the Palestinians in the occupied territories, reaffirming Egypt's rejection of any attempt to displace them from their homeland.
He also urged unimpeded humanitarian aid to Gaza, the full implementation of the second phase of the current ceasefire agreement, and immediate reconstruction in the strip to ensure a dignified life for its residents.
Egypt is making every effort to ensure the ceasefire is fully implemented and is committed to thwarting any attempts to evade it, Sisi said.
The Trump administration last year unveiled a 20-point, three-phase peace plan aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas conflict that broke out in October 2023. A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect in October 2025. However, during the first phase of the deal, both sides repeatedly accused each other of violations.
Earlier this month, Trump's administration announced the launch of the second phase of the peace plan, shifting the focus from ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance and reconstruction. ■
