Egypt Condemns Israeli Announcement Of Establishing 'Agency' To Displace Gaza Population

ABP News  

Cairo, March 25 Egypt strongly condemned Israel's establishment of an agency aimed at displacing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and its approval of 13 new settlements in the West Bank. In a statement released by the Foreign Ministry, Egypt said on Monday that the so-called "voluntary departure," which Israel claims this agency targets, lacks any basis, Xinhua news agency reported. On Sunday, the Israeli Defence Ministry said that Israel's Security Cabinet has approved the establishment of a new directorate to coordinate the "voluntary relocation" of Palestinians from Gaza to third countries. In February, US President Donald Trump presented a plan to transfer Gaza's Palestinian population to neighbouring countries, as part of a broader vision to rebuild the war-torn enclave as a "Riviera."
