For the first time since 2013, Egyptians are united on one issue with no division! Even the Palestinian cause was always a topic of debate: Should Egypt or Palestine come first? Should we open or close the Rafah crossing? Who should be allowed in, and under what conditions? But this time, everyone immediately said: “No to relocating Gaza’s people to Sinai!”
Why? Aren’t they our brothers? Didn’t Egypt host millions of Syrians and Sudanese? Why is this different for Gaza?
Open your eyes—these are not just reasons; they are disasters that would happen if Egypt accepted relocation. And the last reason won’t surprise you 😊—I ranked them by importance!
1. Forced Relocation = The Start of Genocide
Do you remember what happened in 1948, when 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes? Those who refused to leave faced massacres like Deir Yassin. Now, history is repeating itself!
If Egypt agrees to take in refugees, anyone who refuses to leave Gaza will be exterminated because the global decision has already been made. Then, Egypt will give Israel the "green light" to carry out its plan.
2. Demographic Imbalance: Sinai Becomes a Mini Palestine
The population of Sinai is 565,000, but if 1 to 2 million Palestinians enter, Sinai will officially become a Palestinian state! Over time, Egypt will lose control, and we will have a separate state within Egypt’s borders. This won’t happen peacefully—it will lead to power struggles, armed conflicts, and civil wars, and suddenly, Egypt will find itself losing the land it fought for decades to reclaim!
3. War Between Egypt and Israel
Gaza has launched rockets at Israel before. Now, imagine if Sinai became the launch site!
Israel’s area is 22,000 km², while Sinai is 60,000 km²—three times the size of Israel. With high Palestinian birth rates, in a few years, we would have a more significant, more populated state right on Israel’s border. The result? Israel will not stay silent; military conflict will be inevitable, and a new war will break out.
4. The Return of Terrorism
ISIS is not gone—it is just weak due to security operations. But if Egypt loses control of Sinai, terrorist groups will grow stronger again. This wouldn’t mean just occasional bombings but a full-scale Iraq and Syria scenario: suicide bombers, car bombs, public executions, and fear ruling the streets. Not only will Sinai suffer, but all of Egypt will face dark times!
5. A Massive Wave of Illegal Immigration
Sinai has 200 km of Mediterranean coastline. If relocation happens, the area will become Africa's biggest illegal migration hub. Egyptians, Palestinians, and Africans will all try to escape to Europe. The result? The EU will panic, and Egypt will face extreme international pressure!
6. Collapse of Tourism & Loss of Billions
Sinai’s tourism revenue 2024 was $6.6 billion, with 7.1 million tourists annually. Tens of thousands of Egyptians rely on this sector. But if relocation happens? Tourism will disappear, money will dry up, and jobs will vanish!
Final Thought
If Egypt or Jordan accepts relocation—or "hosting," as they politely call it—then we are handing Palestine to Israel on a silver platter!
At that point, Israel will have the right to wipe out anyone who refuses to leave, and we will witness a second Nakba in cold blood.
This would not only be a crime against Palestinians but a historic betrayal of all Arabs and Muslims!
That’s why Egypt refused relocation—not because it has the luxury to refuse, but because if it agreed, the disaster would hit Egypt first before it hits Gaza’s people!
