Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has rejected the idea of a mass influx of refugees from Gaza, stating that it could set a precedent for the displacement of Palestinians from the West Bank into Jordan. President Sisi blamed Israel's airstrikes on the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt for the failure to get aid to the territory's 2.4 million people. He warned that this displacement would make it impossible to implement a Palestinian state. Pressure has been mounting for aid to be allowed into Gaza through Egypt's Rafah crossing, which is the only access not controlled by Israel.
