Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said Cairo is closely monitoring and studying "what is being said" regarding the “Greater Israel” project, stressing that Egypt is preparing countermeasures to confront any potential repercussions.

“What is being said regarding ‘Greater Israel’ is being closely monitored and studied to develop various countermeasures to address the issue,” Madbouly told editors of Egyptian newspapers and websites on Tuesday.

He emphasized that “under no circumstances will Egypt allow the displacement of Palestinians or the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.”

Madbouly affirmed that Egypt has prepared clear plans for different scenarios in Palestine, with all state institutions and ministries ready to act.

“There are emergency plans for the Ministries of Health, Supply, and others to ensure basic needs for our Palestinian brothers are met in the event of new developments,” he said.

Economic impact of regional instability

On the economic front, Madbouly acknowledged that regional instability inevitably affects markets and investments.

“Foreign investment is sensitive to conflict, even when domestic conditions remain stable,” he explained.

He noted that Egypt’s economic outlook already accounts for a conservative scenario to navigate global challenges, adding that ongoing reforms will strengthen the economy within two to three years despite external pressures such as energy price fluctuations.

Gaza assault and Arab- Islamic Summit

Madbouly’s remarks came just hours after "Israel" launched a ground assault on Gaza City before dawn, unleashing heavy bombardment as troops pushed into the city, displacing 1.2 million Palestinians.

The escalation followed the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha, which convened in response to the Israeli strike on Qatar last week that killed Hamas officials and a Qatari national.
