During a media address with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Sisi proposed using the Negev desert in Israel as a temporary relocation site until Israel resolves the situation in Gaza. 

He emphasized Cairo's opposition to hosting Palestinians in the Sinai Peninsula, citing concerns about prolonged military operations and potential terrorist activities against Israel if they were transferred to Egypt. 

Sisi also criticized Israel's blockade of Gaza, viewing it as an attempt to force Palestinians into relocating to Sinai, a move Egypt firmly rejects.
