    Abstract

    This Article examines the legal and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian refugees who have fled to Egypt amidst the ongoing violence in Gaza. While escaping active conflict, these refugees face systemic barriers to employment and education, rendering their living conditions precarious and unsustainable. The unique legal status of Palestinian refugees stems from the fact that they have been excluded from the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, leaving them without any meaningful international protection. This exclusion is rooted in the political complexities of the Palestinian struggle for self-determination and reflects a fragmented legal framework that prioritizes limited humanitarian aid over enforceable rights. The Article further argues that the displacement of Palestinians is not a consequence of isolated conflict, but rather a direct outcome of Zionist ideology, which has shaped both the historical context of displacement and the ongoing denial of fundamental protections. Through an analysis of Egypt’s domestic policies and international refugee law, this Article highlights the urgent need for a reexamination of the legal structures governing Palestinian refugees and advocates for more inclusive, rights-based approaches.
