Jordan’s King Abdullah II reaffirmed on Monday that his stance on the issue of Palestinian displacement has remained unchanged for the past 25 years since he ascended the throne. “No to displacement, no to resettlement, no to an alternative homeland,” he said, according to a Royal Court statement.
During a meeting with retired military veterans, the king stressed Jordan’s firm position on the Palestinian cause, denying any plans for the displacement or resettlement of Palestinians.
He emphasised that his stance “has not and will not change,” condemning those who doubt Jordan’s unwavering position on the matter.
“The stability and security of Jordan, as well as the well-being of Jordanians, take precedence over all other considerations,” the king stated, underscoring the importance of rebuilding Gaza without displacing Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank.
Following his meeting at the White House on Tuesday with U.S. President Donald Trump, King Abdullah reiterated his strong opposition to any forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank.
Trump had reportedly suggested that the U.S. take control of Gaza, relocate its Palestinian population to other countries—especially Egypt and Jordan—and then rebuild the war-torn enclave, transforming it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” The proposal faced widespread regional and international rejection, prompting unified Arab opposition.
King Abdullah also stated last Tuesday in Washington that Egypt would provide a response to Trump’s plan, and Arab nations would further discuss the matter in upcoming talks in Riyadh.
