Egypt's el-Sisi rejects Trump's suggestion to take in Palestinians [View all]
President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has said Egypt will not participate in the displacement of Palestinians, days after United States President Donald Trump suggested that Arab countries take in Palestinians from the war-torn Gaza Strip.
“Regarding what is being said about the displacement of Palestinians, it can never be tolerated or allowed because of its impact on Egyptian national security,” el-Sisi told a press conference on Wednesday.
“The deportation or displacement of the Palestinian people is an injustice in which we cannot participate,” he said.

“Regarding what is being said about the displacement of Palestinians, it can never be tolerated or allowed because of its impact on Egyptian national security,” el-Sisi told a press conference on Wednesday.
“The deportation or displacement of the Palestinian people is an injustice in which we cannot participate,” he said.
So El Sisi finally said the quiet part out loud: the reason for "an injustice in which we cannot participate" is that it "can never be tolerated or allowed because of its impact on Egyptian national security”.
A rather convenient euphemism for keeping Palestinians in refugee camps.
