Arab foreign ministers have unified in opposition to any plans for relocating Palestinians from their homeland, following U.S. President Donald Trump's recent proposal. In a joint statement issued Saturday in Cairo, they emphasized the threat such actions pose to regional stability.

The ministers, representing countries including Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, asserted that displacing Palestinians would undermine peace prospects and spread conflict. This stance directly counters Trump's call for Egypt and Jordan to house Gaza residents, whom he referred to as inhabitants of a 'demolition site.'

Furthermore, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has strongly opposed facilitating such displacement, marking a significant regional dissent against U.S. policy. The Arab League supports Egypt in organizing an international conference on Gaza's reconstruction, aiming to foster stability and aid recovery efforts.
