Hundreds of Egyptians protested near the Gaza border against a plan proposed by US President Donald Trump to move Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi stated that the displacement of the Palestinian people is an injustice that Egypt cannot take part in. Egypt, a key US ally in the region, has played a delicate balancing act in the Israel-Hamas conflict while appeasing its pro-Palestinian population. Public protests have been banned in Egypt since 2013, but early in the war, tens of thousands of people took to the streets in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
