Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi reaffirmed on Thursday his country's categorical rejection of any attempts to forcibly displace the Palestinian people from their land, emphasizing the urgent need to begin reconstruction in the Gaza Strip once a ceasefire is secured.

According to presidential spokesperson Mohamed el-Shenawy, President Sisi also stressed the importance of adhering to international law and treaties, which obligate nations to safeguard diplomatic missions and refrain from any action that compromises foreign embassies operating on their soil. This principle was echoed by Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof during a phone call with the Egyptian leader.

The call focused on regional developments, particularly the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza. President Sisi reviewed Egypt’s diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire, facilitate the immediate entry of humanitarian aid, and secure the release of hostages and detainees. He also underscored the need to restore a conducive environment for political negotiations aimed at implementing the two-state solution, establishing an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital within the June 4, 1967 borders.

Sisi reiterated that a lasting and just peace can only be achieved through this political resolution, which remains the only viable path toward regional stability.

The two leaders also discussed bilateral relations, highlighting the importance of deepening cooperation in key sectors including trade, investment, agriculture, water resource management, finance, and energy.

On migration, Prime Minister Schoof praised Egypt’s efforts in combating irregular migration and commended the ongoing coordination between Cairo and The Hague, especially in the fight against terrorism and extremism.

US, "Israel" pull negotiators from talks

On July 24, both the United States and the Israeli occupation withdrew their negotiators from the Qatari capital, claiming that Hamas showed a “lack of desire” to reach a ceasefire agreement in the war-torn Gaza Strip.

In response, Hamas rejected the accusations, expressing surprise at the characterization and reiterating its commitment to achieving a truce. The group emphasized that it was negotiating in good faith, and said the blame for delays lies with "Israel's" refusal to accept key humanitarian and security conditions.

Mediators claim progress despite impasse

Despite the diplomatic setback, mediating nations Egypt and Qatar released a joint statement on July 25, asserting that progress had been made during the most recent round of negotiations between Hamas and the Israeli occupation. However, no concrete steps or agreements were announced, leaving the status of the ceasefire plan uncertain.

The reported annexation plan has sparked alarm among observers, as it signals a potentially dramatic escalation in "Israel’s" long-standing occupation policies. Any move to formally annex parts of Gaza would likely be met with broad international condemnation and could undermine further attempts to reach a durable ceasefire.

Hamas surprised by Israeli withdrawal

Khalil al-Hayya, Deputy Head of Hamas in Gaza and a member of its political bureau, expressed the movement's surprise at the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation delegation from the indirect negotiations between the two parties.

Speaking on Sunday, al-Hayya stated, "This withdrawal came despite the progress achieved during the talks and Hamas’ broad acceptance of what the mediators had proposed." He added that the Resistance leadership had used "all its tools and relations over the past 22 months to bring an end to the aggression."

Al-Hayya emphasized that there could be "no meaning to the continuation of negotiations under genocide, starvation, and siege of Gaza’s children, women, and people."

Moreover, he rejected what he called the "absurd theatrics of airdropped aid operations," insisting that the suffering and blood of the Palestinian people should not become "a bargaining chip in the occupation's political games."
