US proposal to relocate Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt rejected
Jordan has rejected a proposal by US President Donald Trump that the Arab country, along with Egypt, should take Palestinians from Gaza.
Jordanian politicians have condemned the proposal as completely unacceptable, warning that it poses a direct threat to both Jordanian sovereignty and the Palestinian cause.
US President Trump's statements have been met with clear rejection from both Egypt and Jordan.
Most critically, the immediate reconstruction of Gaza is essential to ensure that Gazans remain steadfast on their land.

Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi says Jordan firmly rejects any displacement of Palestinians and the undermining of their historical rights. He says Jordanian sovereignty should be protected as well.
This is not merely a principled and steadfast stance for the Kingdom, but the necessity for achieving the security, stability and peace we all seek.
Resolving the Palestinian issue on a just foundation that guarantees the rights of the Palestinian people is essential to restoring the security and stability long denied to the region.

There is no official US position on the matter. President Trump's statement was off hand with no formal declaration or demand.
The Palestinian people, as the primary decision makers, have categorically rejected the proposal.
Trump's assumption that US aid to Jordan could serve as leverage is misguided, as Jordan has consistently maintained a firm and resolute stance.
In 2017و Trump's recognition of شl-Quds as the capital of the Israeli occupation was met with a political campaign led by Jordan to reject the US position and support the Palestinians.
Similarly, Jordan opposed the 'Deal of the Century' announced alongside Netanyahu in Washington, reaffirming its commitment to Palestinian rights.
This US proposal carries no weight, facing outright rejection from both the Palestinian people and Jordan's clear and unwavering opposition.

Political blocs, trade unions and national organizations in Jordan have also strongly rejected Trump's proposal, saying that relocation of Gazans constitutes a violation of Palestinian rights.
Trump's proposal to uproot Gazans to Egypt and Jordan remains highly controversial, with many asserting that a lasting solution requires respecting Palestinian rights and adhering to international resolutions.
