CAIRO / RAMALLAH  - Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Palestinian Authority (PA), and the Arab League (AL) stressed in a joint statement on Saturday the rejection of any attempt to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.

The statement was issued after a meeting in Egypt's capital Cairo attended by top diplomats from Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, as well as high-ranking officials from the PA and AL.

Participants of the meeting expressed their commitment to working with US President Donald Trump's administration "to achieve a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East based on the two-state solution," according to the statement.

They also voiced full support for the Palestinians and their legitimate rights, rejecting any attempt to displace the Palestinian people, whether by eviction or efforts to transfer or remove them from their land under any circumstances.

The statement also urged the international community to coordinate efforts for planning and implementing a comprehensive process for the reconstruction of Gaza to improve the Palestinians' daily lives and address the problem of internal displacement.

On Jan 25, Trump proposed a controversial plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, which was strongly rejected by both countries.

Dozens of Palestinians took to the streets in Gaza on Saturday, protesting against Trump's proposal to relocate the Strip's population to Egypt and Jordan and praising Egypt for rejecting the plan.

Protesters gathered at Al-Saraya Square in central Gaza City and Deir al-Balah in the middle of the Strip, waving Palestinian and Egyptian flags.

Large banners with images of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi displayed slogans that read, "Egypt will always stand as a true supporter and defender of the Palestinian cause and will never accept the displacement of its people."

In a statement on behalf of families and clan leaders, protesters strongly rejected any plan or measures aimed at displacing Palestinians from their land. "Palestine is our rightful homeland, and we will not allow anyone to undermine that," the statement read.

Also on Saturday, Sisi received a phone call from Trump, having "a positive discussion" on the ongoing Israel-Hamas ceasefire in the Gaza Strip brokered by the two countries and Qatar, said the Egyptian presidency.

"The call fostered a positive discussion between the two presidents, underscoring the critical importance of advancing the implementation of the first and second phases of the ceasefire agreement, and ensuring the stabilization of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip," said the Egyptian presidency in a statement.

The two leaders also addressed "the urgent need to increase the delivery of humanitarian aid and relief to the residents of Gaza." The talks came after Sisi expressed on Wednesday that the displacement of Palestinians is an act of "injustice," in which Egypt will not participate.

West Bank

Meanwhile, four Palestinians were killed on Saturday in two separate Israeli airstrikes on Jenin city in the northern West Bank, according to Palestinian sources.

Local sources and witnesses reported that an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle in the center of Qabatiya town south of Jenin.

Two Palestinian youths were killed in the strike on the vehicle, the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirmed.

In response, the Israeli military said one of its air force drones, directed by the Shin Bet security service, targeted a vehicle carrying "terrorists" in Qabatiya as part of an operation in the northern West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its teams transported the bodies of two victims and one injury from the eastern neighborhood of Jenin to the hospital following a bombardment in the area.

Palestinian security sources reported that the simultaneous Israeli airstrikes also targeted a motorcycle, leading to the deaths of another two young men.

The Israeli military did not issue an immediate comment on the bombing, which was the third strike on the city within a few hours.

These developments come as the Israeli military continues its operation in Jenin and its refugee camp for the 12th consecutive day, with explosions and destruction of residents' homes in the camp.
