Egypt expresses appreciation for Trump's reversal on Gaza displacement

Egypt has expressed its appreciation for US President Donald Trump’s recent remarks on Gaza, in which he stated that no Palestinians would be displaced from the Strip.

In a statement issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cairo acknowledged Trump's comments during his March 12, 2025, meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, viewing them as a recognition of the need to prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and to seek just and lasting solutions to the Palestinian issue.

Egypt emphasized the importance of building on this position to advance broader efforts toward Middle East peace. The statement highlighted the necessity of adopting a comprehensive approach that ensures stability and security for all parties involved.

Furthermore, Egypt reiterated its support for President Trump’s initiative to resolve international conflicts, including in the Middle East, and stressed that any peace efforts must align with the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people. This includes their right to establish an independent state along the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Cairo reaffirmed its commitment to backing all serious initiatives aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace in the region. It also called on international and regional stakeholders to intensify efforts toward a peaceful settlement that guarantees security, stability, and prosperity for all.
