Egypt has reportedly imposed a six-month ban on the website of Mada Masr, one of its few remaining independent media outlets, after a report that relied on interviews with anonymous political and diplomatic sources to claim that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s regime was preparing to accept Palestinian refugees fleeing Israel’s Gaza offensive.
The Mada Masr report on October 11 had also suggested that the Israeli offensive in Gaza was aimed at mass displacement of Palestinians. An Israeli intelligence plan, subsequently acknowledged by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s office as a “concept paper”, pointed to similar objectives in Gaza.
