President Trump on January 25 said that he had talked to King Jordan Abdullah II, talking about the idea of building settlements, moving more than one million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt. Mr. Trump called this an idea to help “clean the Gaza Strip” and establish peace in the Middle East.
This move has encountered opposition from a series of countries and regional organizations.
The Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on January 29 opened the public to publicize Mr. Trump’s plan, announcing “moving Palestinians from the homeland is an unfair action that we cannot participate in” .
The previous Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also affirmed that “the continuous support for the Palestinian’s determination of the Palestinians in their territory”, emphasized that Egypt will not receive more Palestinians and all efforts forced to have to be forced to have yes yes. Can collapse agreements with Israel.
King Abdullah II also expressed his steadfast stance as “keeping the Palestinians in the homeland”, warning that the idea of pushing the Palestinians to Jordan or Egypt was “red boundaries”. Secretary of State Jordan Ayman Safadi announced that the country resolutely protested to relocate Palestinians. “Jordan is from Jordan and Palestinians of Palestine,” he said.
Mr. Trump’s idea seems to be contrary to the US foreign policy for decades to support the two -state solution for Israeli – Palestine conflict. It is estimated that there are 5.9 million Palestinian refugees in the world, of which millions of people living in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and some Middle Eastern countries.
Gaza is a small strip of land, with an area of about 365 km2, bordering Israeli and Egypt, the other side is facing the Mediterranean. This is one of the two territories of the Palestinians. The remaining area is the west coast being occupied by Israel.
The Gaza Strip is home to about 2.4 million before the large -scale conflict between Hamas and Israel. The retaliation campaign launched by Israel from October 2023 has killed more than 47,000 people and more than 111,000 injured. Many areas in the Gaza Strip also turned into rubble and submerged in humanitarian crisis.
