The president of the United States, Donald Trump, will raise Jordan to Egypt the possibility of receiving a million and a half of displaced from the Gaza Strip for their “accommodation” in the medium or long term in an initiative that, on previous occasions, Both countries have repudiated for understanding that it would be a new ‘Nakba’, the “catastrophe” that represented the 1948 Palestinian exodus, and the elimination of all hope for the constitution of a peace solution of two states.
In statements to the American media aboard the presidential plane, the Air Force One, Trump has confirmed that he has already discussed the issue in phone call With the Jordanian monarch, Abdalá II, and who intends to do the same this Sunday with the Egyptian president, Abdelfatá al Sisi.
“I have told King Abdalá that I would love to welcome more people because right now you see what is in the Gaza Strip and It is a disaster. It is a real disaster, “Trump said about a country that right now, according to United Nations figures, hosts more than 2.3 million Palestinian refugees.
Trump explained that his administration does not contemplate a stay limit for these hypothetical refugees – “it could be temporary or long term” – and that the main reason for this decision would consist of that the displaced had a safe accommodation while the entire strip is clear of rubble. “We are probably talking about a million and a half people, while we clean the entire place to say, at once ‘look, it is over'”, added the American president.
“Something has to happen”the president of the United States has insisted, “because right now, that site is literally a demolition zone, so I prefer to talk to some Arab countries and build houses in a different place for those people to live in peace, for varying” .
The reception of a population expelled from Gaza has represented a Absolutely unthinkable historical questionmore particularly since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas in October 2023. That same month, the Egyptian president equated this possibility directly to the disappearance, as such, of the Palestinian identity.
“If that happens, there would be no reason to talk about a Palestinian people: The Earth would continue there, but people did not, “he told SISI in a wave of rejection within the Arab world to which Jordanian Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, said that any expulsion from Palestinians to Jordan would directly represent “A declaration of war.”
