A high-ranking official source denied, on Tuesday, what was reported by the media about a phone call between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and American President Donald Trump.

He stressed that any phone call by the President of the Republic is announced in accordance with the custom with heads of state, especially with regard to a call at this level and at this critical time that the Middle East region is going through, and in light of the special importance that this represents in light of the distinguished relations that bring together the presidents of the two countries.

Earlier today, US President Trump said that he spoke with the Egyptian president about transferring Palestinians from Gaza, indicating that he had not backed down from the idea of transferring Palestinians out of the Strip, according to what was reported by news agencies and media outlets.

The US president said he told his Egyptian counterpart that he would like to have them "live in an area where they can live without turmoil or revolution... When you look at the Gaza Strip, it has been hell for many years," he said.

Cairo and Amman renewed their position rejecting any Israeli or other plans to transfer the residents of the Strip, considering it a second displacement campaign, after President Trump announced his intention to speak to the leaderships of the two countries about the possibility of transferring the people of Gaza.

In this regard, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aati expressed his country's concern yesterday, Monday, regarding the displacement attempts targeting people in neighboring countries. He pointed to the deteriorating political and humanitarian conditions in the region, including conflicts, political crises and the negative effects of climate change.

He also stressed that these factors contribute to the growth of waves of displacement and migration, leading to an increase in the flow of migrants to Egypt, which already hosts more than 9 million migrants, refugees and people in refugee-like situations.

In turn, Hanfy Gebaly, Speaker of the Egyptian House of Representatives, stressed the House’s categorical rejection of any arrangements or attempts to change the geographical and political reality of the Palestinian issue, noting that the proposals to displace Palestinians are not limited to threatening the Palestinians alone, but rather represent a grave danger to regional security and stability.

The Egyptian statements came in conjunction with the Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi’s renewal, yesterday, Monday, of the Kingdom’s rejection of any talk about the displacement of Palestinians, stressing that Jordan will continue to confront it.

Safadi said in a briefing before the House of Representatives that all talk about an alternative homeland for the Palestinians is rejected, stressing that his country will not accept it and will continue to confront it. He added that Jordan is for Jordanians, Palestine is for Palestinians, and the solution to the Palestinian issue is on Palestinian soil, according to his words.

It is noteworthy that US President Trump had told reporters that Egypt and Jordan should receive more Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, after the Israeli war caused the death of more than 47 thousand Palestinians, and turned most of the Strip into rubble.
