Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar have firmly opposed any forcible displacement of Palestinians from their land.
Their foreign ministers issued a joint statement rejecting any attempt to displace Palestinians or violate their rights during a meeting in Cairo on Saturday.
The meeting followed remarks by former US President Donald Trump, who suggested relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan.
In response, the ministers condemned any measures that would result in the “settlement, expulsion, home demolitions, annexation, depopulation of the land of its people through displacement, encouraged transfer, or the uprooting of Palestinians from their land.”

Egypt and Jordan, both key US allies in the region, have repeatedly dismissed Trump’s proposal.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi reaffirmed his country’s position, stating that expelling Palestinians from their homeland is an injustice that Egypt would not support.
The ministers also expressed their readiness to engage with the Trump administration in pursuit of a peaceful and fair resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They emphasised the need for a two-state solution as the only viable path to lasting stability in the region.
Also present at the meeting were Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit and Hussein al-Sheikh, a senior official from the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
The discussion also touched on Israel’s recent decision to sever ties with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
The ministers stressed that UNRWA remains crucial in providing aid and support to Palestinian refugees. They firmly rejected any efforts to undermine or replace the agency, calling for its continued operation in addressing the humanitarian needs of displaced Palestinians.
