Vice President Kamala Harris said in a meeting Saturday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi that Washington will not allow for the forced relocation of Palestinians or any redrawing of the current border of the Gaza Strip.

“Under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,” Harris said, according to a statement from the vice president’s office.

Nobody wants it to happen, the truth is that even the Arab world wants Palestine beaten and shoved into a corner, so they can keep using them as an excuse to hate. They don't actually care about Palestinians, neither does Europe, that's why they don't want refugees or take in Palestinians who want out.

Citations?

so many replies to this and yet not one of them has a link. i wonder why they’re having so much trouble backing up their positions

Well for one, Egypt was refusing most people fleeing the gaza strip, but that's to be expected when 1.5 Million people try to leave at once.

Egypt is also responsible for the terrorist organization that more or less runs the strip and attacked the festival a month ago, they were originally Egyptian.

Do you often just make things up on the internet?

Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood which are mortal enemies of the current of government of Egypt.

Exactly what I just said. The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt, and after 2011 they won and briefly held 42% of parliament seats and the presidency, but luckily they were forced out of government soon after.

Hamas' biggest villain's are from Egypt, the Egyptian people are more responsible for Hamas' actions than Palestine, so I think it's honestly very sad for Palestine to be trapped in a situation where there are enemies on all sides adding fuel to the fire.

Lol nobody shits on Muslims as much as other Muslims. Take Xinjiang, for example. Nobody fucking cares. Arabs always hated Palestinians too. Israel supplied more humanitarian aid to Gaza than whole of Muslim world combined (gifts to Hamas don't count as humanitarian aid).

I don't think Israeli aid counts as "aid" because it's their obligation under intentional law governing occupation, and they have fallen short of these commitments.

But it's true, Arab governments don't give shit about Palestinians. I mean, most governments around the world barely give a shit about their own people. The leaders of Egypt and Jordon and Lebanon have never demonstrated an interest in Palestinian statehood.

Your talking about countries that with unstable economy, can be easily have riots or someone can easily fund and ISIS like group to have a civil war?

Most of the Arab countries have taken people during war with expectations they can go back, but then they couldn't because Isreal refuse to snd stole land.

Blaming Arab countries at this time without any historical or recent understanding is an attempt to shift the blame and conversation to something not important.

People are dying, kids are dying, US government send weapons to Isreal, and then bluntly lying to people. Lets keep the conversation focus...

Nobody shits on Muslims as much as racists like you.

The Arab world has already taken millions of Palestinians.

Pretty sure those countries doesn't want yet more for:

  • the same reason no country wants a higher per capita percentage of refugees these days and

  • because they don't want to give Israel and the US excuses to drone bomb them looking for HAMAS terrorists and

  • countries on the border with Israel don't want it to have a reason for coming over their borders all the time, because that would likely end in border redrawings
