Egyptian parliamentarian and journalist Mustafa Bakri said that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi rejected $250 billion in exchange for displacing the Palestinians and resolving Egypt’s debt crisis.

While presenting the “Facts and Secrets” program, journalist Mustafa Bakri warned of an imminent humanitarian disaster in the Palestinian city of Rafah, stressing that it would be the worst disaster the world has witnessed since World War II.

Bakry added that Egypt is making great efforts to mitigate the severity of the crisis, but the weakness of the regional and international position is a major criterion for its continuation.

He pointed out that Egypt more than any country provided humanitarian aid to the brothers in the Gaza Strip, as it is estimated at about 80% of the total volume of aid provided during the crisis, stressing President Sisi’s categorical rejection of all offers that were made to Egypt in return for displacement.

The Egyptian parliamentarian continued: “The president spoke from the first day, and rejected the plan to displace and liquidate the issue. In the beginning, they offered him 200 billion dollars in exchange for displacement and solving debt problems, and he refused... Now he raised the amount to 250 billion dollars and told them... every speck of dirt from the land.” Sinai is irrigated with the blood of the martyrs, how can I waste it! And be a partner in liquidating the Palestinian cause in any way.”

Bakri stressed that “the people of Gaza and Palestine are an integral part of the Egyptian people,” adding: “The people of Gaza are our sisters, and our people are even part of us. We cannot abandon them. Egypt has been concerned all its life with Arabism and the nation, and has never betrayed or sold out, and its policy is clear.” In public, he is what is in secret, and this is the policy of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the nationalist national leader.”

Egypt had repeatedly warned of Israel’s intention to attack the city of Rafah or carry out a military operation in the Philadelphia axis, at a time when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Tel Aviv would not end the war without closing the gap in the Philadelphia axis.

The war in Gaza has entered its 132nd day, while the specter of a humanitarian catastrophe looms over Rafah, which awaits an Israeli military operation, coinciding with the negotiations in Egypt regarding a truce and the release of prisoners and hostages.
