Egypt Denies Creation of Buffer Zone for Palestinians on Gaza Border – Last Minute World News
Egypt Denies Allegations of Building Units for Palestinians on Gaza Border
Zia Rashvan, President of the Egyptian Press Information Agency, has responded to the allegations circulating on social media with a written statement. Rashvan categorically denied the news that Egypt is preparing to build units to accommodate Palestinians in an area parallel to the border with Gaza.
In response to the allegations that Egypt built a wall on the Gaza border, Rashvan stated that Egypt had a buffer zone and walls on the border long before the current crisis occurred. He emphasized that these are measures taken by every state in the world to protect its sovereignty and border security.
Rashvan reiterated Egypt’s “anti-deportation” stance, emphasizing that the voluntary or forced deportation of Palestinians out of Gaza, especially to Egyptian territory, constitutes a liquidation of the Palestinian issue and a direct threat to Egyptian national security and sovereignty. He emphasized that deportation is a “crime” and a “red line” for Egypt, making it clear that his country will do whatever is necessary to prevent it.
These statements come in response to reports by Reuters news agency and The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed law enforcement sources, claiming that Egypt had started to build an area to accommodate Palestinians on the Gaza border in preparation for potential mass migration.
Rashvan’s strong denial and reiteration of Egypt’s stance against deportation will likely have an impact on the narrative surrounding the situation in Gaza and Egypt’s role in it. As tensions continue in the region, Egypt’s position on this issue will be closely watched by the international community.
