(Patria) - Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, said in a televised speech that Palestinians will not leave Gaza or the West Bank and migrate to Egypt, Reuters reported.
"Our decision is to remain in our land," Haniyeh added, addressing Egypt in that part of the speech.
Egypt shares a border with Gaza and is concerned about the possibility that residents of the enclave could be displaced due to the Israeli siege and bombing of the territory, launched in retaliation for the devastating incursion by Hamas militants.
Like other Arab states, Egypt has said that Palestinians should remain on their lands as the war escalates, and that it is working to ensure the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Friday that Palestinian civilians "who want to save their lives" must heed Israel's warning to evacuate south in Gaza.
