Arab Nations Reject Trump’s Gaza Relocation Plan
Following President Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, a joint statement from several Arab nations, including Egypt and Jordan, strongly rejected the proposal. The statement cited the plan’s threat to regional stability and its undermining of peace prospects. Instead, these nations emphasized their commitment to a two-state solution and called for international support for Gaza’s reconstruction, ensuring Palestinians remain on their land. This rejection followed individual statements from Egyptian President el-Sissi and Jordanian Foreign Minister Safadi, both expressing firm opposition. The Arab nations also reaffirmed UNRWA’s crucial role in aiding Palestinian refugees.
