Currently there is no description available for Mohamad Elmasry.
“I don't know that he's being advised by the right people, I don't know if he has a strong understanding of Middle East politics and affairs. But the reality is this: If the Egyptians or the Jordanians or any other Arab country were to take in mass numbers of Palestinians there would be very grave political consequences for those governments. Whatever incentives there might be - there's been discussion of debt relief for Egypt, potentially a lot of money for a country that's really struggling economically - but my sense is that the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, would understand that the political cost of such an arrangement would be too grave for his government to bear. El-Sisi has not been a friend of the Palestinians per se over the years but he would not want a second Nakba, catastrophe, to occur on his watch. Palestinians should not be discounted from any discussions about their future. They are not chess pieces; the Palestinians have made it very clear that they don't want to go anywhere - this is their homeland and they are not going to be pushed out by anybody.”
