Jordan's King Abdullah II warned on Thursday of the danger of escalation in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, reiterating his rejection of the displacement of Palestinians.

This came during his meeting in the capital, Amman, with a delegation from the US House of Representatives headed by member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Representative Darrell Issa, according to a statement by the Royal Court.

The statement said that "developments in the region were discussed," and the Jordanian monarch warned of "the danger of escalation in the West Bank and Jerusalem."

The Israeli occupation army's aggression on the northern West Bank, since January 21, has left 59 Palestinian martyrs, according to the Ministry of Health, in addition to the displacement of thousands of others, and widespread destruction of property, homes, and infrastructure.

Since the beginning of the genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army and settlers have expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the killing of at least 920 Palestinians, the injury of about 7,000, and the arrest of 14,500 others, according to official Palestinian data.

The King of Jordan stressed the "need to intensify international efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution (Palestinian and Israeli)."

He pointed to "the pivotal role of the United States in advancing these efforts," according to the same statement.

He reiterated Jordan's "rejection of any attempts to displace Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the necessity of sustaining the ceasefire in Gaza, and enhancing the humanitarian response."

On Sunday, the Jordanian monarch stressed, during his meeting in Amman with a delegation from the US Congress headed by Senator Richard Blumenthal, his rejection of the displacement of Palestinians, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the sustainability of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, according to a statement by the Royal Court, a copy of which was received by Anadolu Agency.

This came days after the King of Jordan confirmed to US President Donald Trump, following talks between the two parties at the White House on Tuesday, his rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.

Since January 25, Trump has been promoting a plan to displace the Palestinians of Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by both countries, and was joined by other Arab countries and regional and international organizations.

On February 4, Trump revealed during a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House that his country intends to seize Gaza after displacing the Palestinians from it to other countries, including Egypt and Jordan.

While Egypt is working to formulate and propose a comprehensive Arab plan to rebuild Gaza without displacing Palestinians from it, for fear of liquidating the Palestinian cause through displacement.

With American support, Israel committed genocide in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, leaving more than 160,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.

The meeting between the King of Jordan and the American parliamentarians also discussed "the strategic partnership between Jordan and the United States, and ways to enhance it."

The Jordanian statement did not specify the date of the American delegation's arrival in the Kingdom or the duration of its visit.
