Following US President Donald Trump's statements about proposals to transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt and displace them, the Jordanian House of Representatives said it completely rejects those calls.

The Jordanian parliamentarians said in a statement issued by them that "the Palestinian cause is going through a dangerous turning point. After the brutality of the occupier and the crimes and destruction it has committed, the illusions of displacement are emerging again, in continuous attempts that have not ceased to seek to liquidate the Palestinian cause and lose the hopes of establishing a state, and lose the future of generations, not only at the expense of years of legitimate Palestinian struggle, but also at the expense of Jordan and our sister Egypt. These are attempts that we affirm in the House of Representatives with one voice and in the name of the conscience and feelings of our great people, our complete rejection of them, as Jordan will not be an alternative homeland, and this homeland that has made sacrifices and endured wounds, harm and denial, will stand firm in the face of challenges no matter how severe and high they are."

He continued: “Talk about displacing the Palestinian people from Gaza, after the suffering and crimes they have endured, is not consistent with the values of justice and freedom advocated by democratic systems. No one has the right to determine the fate of Palestine except its steadfast people, and today, like other peoples of the world, they have the right to gain their freedom and establish their state on their national soil. The tampering and denial of the rights of the Palestinians will keep the region on a simmering state of tension and turmoil, and the entire region will not enjoy security and stability except through the establishment of a just and comprehensive solution that guarantees the full rights of our Palestinian brothers. Without that, the consequences will affect the region and the entire world.”

He added: "The keenness to stop the suffering of the people of Gaza is to support them with various forms of support, stop the brutal war machine, and put an end to the crimes of the extremist occupation government, not to propose solutions that serve the expansionist Zionist agenda that will only bring destruction and devastation to the region."

The statement continued: “As we stand in Jordan as one behind our leadership, army and security services, we affirm that the strength and cohesion of our front is the way to confront the dangers, and we say steadfastly: We remain faithful to the covenant with the land of the prophets and the holy places, continuing under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II to fulfill our duty of conscience with brothers with whom we meet in the cause, concern and destiny, continuing to provide various types of assistance to our people in wounded Gaza, calling on the international community to support all efforts aimed at stopping the bloodshed and perpetuating the cessation of the war.”

He said: "Jordan has made every sincere effort to establish peace, and the calls to displace Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt cannot be explained except as a blow to all the values and principles that urged the continuity and expansion of peace, and the preservation of the security and stability of peoples. Accordingly, we in the House of Representatives will take every step that would strengthen our national position and its broad slogan: No to displacement, no to an alternative homeland, Palestine is for the Palestinians alone who decide their fate and we support them, and Jordan is for the Jordanians, a homeland for which we will sacrifice our souls and lives."
