Jordan firmly rejects any plans for the resettlement of Palestinians outside their homeland, emphasizing a solution must remain on Palestinian soil.
Jordan has rejected any talk of the resettlement of Palestinians from Gaza following US President Donald Trump’s call for Amman and Egypt to “take people” in order to “clean out” the enclave.
“All talk about an alternative homeland … is unacceptable. We do not accept it, we have not accepted it, and we will continue to confront it with all our capabilities,” Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told parliament on Monday, the Anadolu news agency reported.
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday that “I’d like Egypt to take people, and I’d like Jordan to take people,” according to AFP.
He continued: “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, we just clean out that whole thing.”
‘Infringement of Rights’ – Egypt
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry also dismissed any “depopulation” of Gaza.
In a statement on Sunday, it “rejected any infringement on those inalienable rights, whether by settlement or annexation of land, or by the depopulation of that land of its people through displacement, or encouraged transfer or the uprooting of Palestinians from their land, whether temporarily or long-term.”
‘Abandon Such Proposals’ – Hamas
Hamas said the Palestinian people “categorically reject any plans to displace or expel them from their land.”
“We call on the US administration to abandon such proposals that align with Israeli schemes and conflict with the rights and free will of our people,” the movement said in a statement on Sunday.
