The Sudanese Armed Forces announced a reshuffle of military staff that both included forced resignations and appointments in a number of departments.

The constitutional mandate provided for the restructuring of the statutory bodies to conform to the civil rule in the country, and the task was entrusted to military staffers in the Transitional Sovereign Council.

Military spokesperson Brigadier General Amer Mohammed al-Hassan said that accomplishing the goals of the revolution demands restructuring national institutions during the transition phase.

Hassan, in a statement, said that the comprehensive restructuring of the defense system will play a major role in the economic development and defense readiness of the country.

The military spokesperson also said that the restructuring comes in the context of modernizing the localization of defense needs.

He added that these steps come within the framework of achieving strategic goals, supporting the national economy, and recruiting young people according to experience and qualification.

Egypt’s parliament speaker on Monday strongly rejected proposals to move Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, saying this could spread conflict to other parts of the Middle East.

The comments by Hanfy el-Gebaly, speaker of the Egyptian House of Representatives, came a day after US President Donald Trump urged Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from war-ravaged Gaza.

El-Gebaly, who didn’t address Trump’s comments directly, told a parliament session Monday that such proposals "are not only a threat to the Palestinians but also they also represent a severe threat to regional security and stability.”

“The Egyptian House of Representatives completely rejects any arrangements or attempts to change the geographical and political reality for the Palestinian cause,” he said.

On Sunday, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry issued a statement rejecting any “temporary or long-term” transfer of Palestinians out of their territories.

The ministry warned that such a move “threatens stability, risks expanding the conflict in the region and undermines prospects of peace and coexistence among its people.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right governing partners have long advocated what they describe as the voluntary emigration of large numbers of Palestinians and the reestablishment of Jewish settlements in Gaza.

Human rights groups have already accused Israel of ethnic cleansing, which United Nations experts have defined as a policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove the civilian population of another group from certain areas “by violent and terror-inspiring means.”
