Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Monday that talk of an alternative homeland for the Palestinians is "unacceptable", after US President Donald Trump called for the transfer of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the Kingdom and Egypt.

This came in a briefing before the House of Representatives (the first chamber of parliament), according to the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its account on the "X" platform, the day after Trump's call to transfer Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, on the grounds of "the lack of suitable places to live in the Gaza Strip" as a result of the Israeli genocide.

Al-Safadi added: "His Majesty the King (Abdullah II) said it more than once, Jordan is for Jordanians and Palestine is for Palestinians, and the solution to the Palestinian issue is on Palestinian soil."

In his first term, specifically in 2020, Trump announced what was known as the “Deal of the Century,” which aimed to establish an alternative homeland for the Palestinians in Jordan, end the idea of a two-state solution at the expense of the Kingdom, and achieve the establishment of “one state of Israel” or “Greater Israel,” as they call it.

Following that, King Abdullah said: "As a Hashemite, how can I back down from Jerusalem?! Impossible. A red line. No to Jerusalem, no to an alternative homeland, no to settlement."

Al-Safadi stressed that "all talk about an alternative homeland, as King Abdullah II confirmed, is rejected. We do not accept it, we have not accepted it, and we will continue to confront it with all our capabilities."

Jordan and Egypt have shared the position of rejecting the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza since the first moment the Israeli war of extermination began on October 7, 2023, as Amman and Cairo said more than once that the issue is a “red line.”

Amman and Cairo reiterated their rejectionist position through official statements and declarations on Sunday.

On Saturday, Trump called in statements to reporters to transfer the Palestinians of Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, citing the "lack of habitable places in the Gaza Strip," on which Israel has waged a war of extermination for more than 15 months.

With American support, between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, Israel committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, leaving about 159,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.

On January 19, a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and a prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel went into effect, mediated by Qatar and Egypt and supported by the United States.

On November 21, the International Criminal Court issued two arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza.

For decades, Israel has occupied lands in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, and refuses to withdraw from them and establish an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, on the borders before the 1967 war.
