Egypt will not participate in the displacement of Palestinians, an "act of injustice" that would threaten Egyptian security, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said on Wednesday in his first public response to U.

Trump floated the idea on Saturday, saying he would urge the leaders of the two Arab countries to take in Gaza’s now largely homeless population, so that “we just clean out that whole thing.”

Egypt cannot take part in the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said, after his US counterpart Donald Trump suggested the war-torn territory’s inhabitants could be moved to Egypt and Jordan.

Jordan voiced its "firm and unwavering" rejection of President Trump's suggestion that most Palestinians in Gaza could be relocated to neighboring nations.

President Trump said he had spoken to Jordan’s leader and planned to call Egypt’s on Sunday. Most of Gaza’s two million residents have been displaced in 15 months of fighting.

Trump said he discussed his vision on a call earlier in the day with King Abdullah II of Jordan and would speak Sunday with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi of Egypt.

President Trump called for Egypt and Jordan to accept additional Palestinian refugees while suggesting a plan to "just clean out" Gaza.

Gaza Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Wednesday rejected US President Donald Trump's declared wish to see Palestinians from Gaza move to “safer” locations, including Egypt or Jordan, saying this would amount to “an act of oppression”.
