RAMALLAH, January 29, 2025 (WAFA) – President Mahmoud Abbas has expressed deep appreciation for Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's firm stance reaffirming Egypt’s rejection of the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.

In a message sent to President el-Sisi, President Abbas stated, "We deeply appreciate Egypt’s steadfast position, which you reaffirmed today—rejecting the displacement of our people from Gaza, standing against injustice toward the Palestinian people, and upholding Egypt’s historic and unwavering support for the Palestinian cause." 

He emphasized that these words hold great significance for the Palestinian people and align with international law, reinforcing their determination to remain on their land and resist any attempts to uproot them.

President Abbas also commended Egypt’s ongoing support for Palestinian rights and aspirations for freedom and independence, highlighting the importance of ending the Israeli occupation and achieving a just peace based on international legitimacy. 

He stressed that stability in the region depends on securing Palestinian rights and ensuring an immediate ceasefire, the delivery of humanitarian aid, and the Palestinian Authority’s assumption of control over the Rafah border crossing as a step toward full governance of Gaza as part of the Palestinian state.

President Abbas concluded his message by wishing President el-Sisi good health and happiness, while expressing hope for continued progress and prosperity for Egypt, its government, and its people.
