President Sissi said to float idea during meetings with other Arab leaders, though he has publicly rebuffed suggestions his country could take in any Palestinian refugees.Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has informed other Arab leaders that he is willing to temporarily relocate half a million residents from Gaza to northern Sinai in a designated city as part of the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, according to a Friday report.
According to the report in the Lebanese Al-Akhbar newspaper, Sissi made his willingness known during meetings held by Arab leaders in recent weeks in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. There was no confirmation of the report from any other source.
The Egyptian State Information Service denied the report, saying, “Egypt’s position is firm in its absolute and final rejection of any attempt to displace Palestinians, and the Cairo Arab Summit’s emergency plan for reconstruction is based on it.”
In public statements, Sissi and Jordan’s King Abdullah have repeatedly rebuffed US President Donald Trump’s assertion that the two Arab countries could take in Palestinian refugees on a permanent basis under his plan to empty the Gaza Strip of its residents and turn it into a “riviera.” The issue is of crucial significance for Jordan and Egypt, which fear that an influx of Palestinians will destabilize their countries.

The POS Washington ComPost blames Israel for 'restarting' conflict, killing over 500, and says the Arabs are hard at work to restore peace.
Guess what? Once they start living in your hellholes and sponging off your regimes, they won't be leaving. Just ask the Lebanese. Ask Kuwait. Ask Iranians. Ask anybody.
Half a million new Hamas terrorists. Fixed it.
That’s actually really good news
I had a feeling Egypt would cave.
No one else wants them.
Egypt has plenty of land.
If they get them out of Gaza there is no chance Israel will ever let them back in.
Northern Sinai doesn’t solve the problem. It still has an Israel border.
Move them to southern Egypt, not northern Egypt.
What about southwest Egypt? The Palestinians could make a new homeland there.
Are they Gazans or Palestinians ? LOL
Should have been done 75 years ago. All of the Arabs should have been evacuated out of the Holy Land.
Since the only source of the story is in Lebanon, it's probably some Iranian agitprop, via their surviving Hezbollah proxies.
Men of military age should be sent to CECOT in El Salvador.
I hear Bekins van lines can help.
Now we know why the Saudis cancelled their project "The Line". :^)
The Egyptians have too many problems in the Sinai to bring in another half million problems, particularly since all of the Gazans will also be on the Iranian terror payroll. Jordan's Hashemite Kingdom (nothin' racist about that name, huh?) is a minority regime ruling a mostly "Palestinian" (that is, ethnically undifferentiated Arabs) population. I haven't checked in a long time, but the Saudi population consisted of about 17-18 million Saudis (that is, ethnically but not religiously undifferentiated Arabs, and some Bedouins) plus 5-6 million guest workers mostly from SE Asian/SW Pacific muzzie populations, the latter group making up the KSA's workforce. Bring in 500K Gazans and they'd need about 150K more guest workers. :^)
Heh, I just had a Kinison flashback... “it’s gonna be sand!”
Temporarily? Bwahaha!
I was going to suggest putting all of them to the bayonet, but yeah, let’s try your idea first, probably less controversial. ;^)
Temporarily...until the first Mars voyages
They’ll end up in London, France and Ireland soon enough.
