of North Sinai, in the far northeast of the country, were surprised to find more than one billboard bearing the inscription &#8220;The City of Sisi Welcomes Esteemed Visitors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These billboards were spread in various locations in the Ajra&#8217; area, the southernmost part of Rafah.<\/p>\n<p>Local sources stated that the &#8220;Al-Arjani for Development&#8221; group, specialized in contracting and real estate development, placed these advisory billboards, leading to what was said to be a &#8220;developmental gathering&#8221; being constructed in the Ajra&#8217; area of Rafah.<\/p>\n<h3>Palestinian Displacement Scheme<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s noteworthy that the talk about establishing new residential settlements in Rafah has been closely linked to a scheme to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, with Egypt being accused of facilitating and pushing for the completion of this scheme.<\/p>\n<p>However, the North Sinai governorate has not announced any information regarding the project.<\/p>\n<p>The sources mentioned that the area where the project is claimed to be established is under the control of the armed forces.<\/p>\n<blockquote

regime in Egypt, with his company undertaking numerous projects both inside and outside Sinai.<\/p>\n<p>On November 12, 2023, the so-called &#8220;Sinai Tribes Union,&#8221; led by Al-Arjani and supervised by the Military Intelligence, laid the foundation stone for the city of Ajra&#8217; east of Sheikh Zuweid city in North Sinai.<\/p>\n<p>This event was attended by the Prime Minister,

Shousha.<\/p>\n<h3>Developmental Gathering Specifications<\/h3>\n<p>The new city of Ajra&#8217; consists of approximately 900 houses, providing housing for 3,500 residents from Sinai in this new city.<\/p>\n<p>The second phase of the new city of Rafah will also be implemented, where 4,352 housing units were executed in the first phase, and it is planned to start implementing another 9,248 housing units in the second phase and complete the facilities area.<\/p>\n<p>Madbouly previously stated that 11 developmental clusters have been implemented in North and Central Sinai, including Bedouin houses in Bir al-Abd, Nakhl, and Hassana, and social housing in other areas.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated approval for the establishment of other projects including 21 clusters, divided into 3 main centers, with 6 clusters in Rafah to accommodate 37,000 people, 11 clusters in Sheikh Zuweid to accommodate 27,000 people, and 4 clusters in Arish to accommodate 5,000 people, as well as establishing
