The Jordanian monarch King Abdullah II confirmed during his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House that Jordan firmly rejects the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, emphasizing that this position represents the unified Arab consensus.

Jordan's Firm Stance

In his statements following the discussions, King Abdullah said:

“I reaffirmed in my discussions with President Trump Jordan's steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and this is the unified Arab stance.”

He stressed that Jordan will not be a party to any plan aimed at resettling Palestinians outside their territories, and that the only acceptable solution is the two-state solution, establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Political Context and Recent Developments

• Rising tensions after American proposals: These statements come in response to reports of American and Israeli proposals to resettle Palestinians outside their territories, as part of a plan to rearrange the situation in Gaza after the recent war.

• American pressure on Arab countries: Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab countries are facing political and economic pressures to accept this scenario, which has been met with a firm rejection.

• Attempts to redraw the map of the region: The King's statements confirm that Jordan refuses to be part of any unjust solutions that threaten Palestinian rights.

The Unified Arab Position

King Abdullah confirmed that the Arab position on the Palestinian issue is clear and steadfast, as follows:

1. Rejection of any attempts to resettle Palestinians outside their homeland.

2. Emphasis that the solution lies in establishing an independent Palestinian state, not in the displacement of populations.

3. Protection of Palestinian identity and the rights of refugees under international resolutions.

Reactions and International Position

• Palestinian welcome: Palestinian factions praised Jordan's position, considering it contributes to protecting Palestinian rights from any attempts to circumvent them.

• American and Israeli disappointment: The Trump administration hoped for Arab flexibility regarding Gaza's future, but the Jordanian stance confirmed that any solutions would not come at the expense of Palestinians or neighboring countries.

• Broad Arab support: Arab countries, especially Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, uphold their position rejecting the displacement of Palestinians and support Jordan in this direction.

What’s Next?

As diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis continue, Jordan's position remains crucial in defending Palestinian rights and rejecting any projects aimed at forcibly resettling Palestinians. It is expected that the Kingdom will continue to coordinate with Arab countries and the international community to maintain the unity of the Arab position and ensure that no unjust solutions are imposed on Palestinians.

Conclusion

King Abdullah II’s statements confirm that Jordan will not be a party to any projects that threaten Palestinian rights or try to impose unjust solutions, and that the Arab position is unified in facing any plans aimed at changing the demographic makeup of Palestine.
