King Abdullah stresses the necessity of rebuilding the Gaza Strip and establishing a ceasefire there

Jordan's King Abdullah II stressed, on Saturday, the necessity of rebuilding the Gaza Strip and consolidating the ceasefire agreement there.


This came during a phone call he received from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, according to a statement by the Jordanian Royal Court.


According to the statement, the two parties discussed ways to enhance friendly relations between the two countries and mechanisms for expanding cooperation in various fields.


The phone call between King Abdullah and Trudeau also addressed the most important developments in the region.


The Jordanian monarch also stressed "the necessity of rebuilding the Gaza Strip without displacing its residents, consolidating the ceasefire in Gaza, and intensifying international efforts for humanitarian response."


Cairo is scheduled to host an emergency Arab summit next Tuesday, with the aim of "formulating a strong Arab position on the Palestinian issue in general, and presenting a general Arab proposal that counters the American proposal to displace the Palestinians of Gaza."


Since January 25, US President Donald Trump has been promoting a plan to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip 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.


In return, 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.


Trump said a few days ago that he would not impose his plan regarding the future of Gaza and would present it as a recommendation, without yet determining a position on the Cairo plan.


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.


Amidst a state of anticipation, the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip ends on Saturday evening without entering into negotiations for the second phase, which were supposed to begin on February 3, according to what was stipulated in the agreement that entered into force on January 19, 2025.


During the call with Trudeau, King Abdullah reiterated the "need to stop the dangerous escalation in the West Bank."


He stressed "the importance of serious and effective work to find a political horizon to achieve a just and comprehensive peace, and appreciated Canada's position in support of the two-state solution (Palestinian and Israeli)."


For 40 days, the Israeli occupation army has continued its aggression on the northern West Bank, targeting the city of Jenin and its camp, and the city of Tulkarm and its camp for the 34th day, while it continues to storm the Nour Shams camp for the 21st day.


The expansion of military operations in the northern West Bank comes after the Israeli army and settlers escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since the start of the genocide in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the martyrdom of at least 927 Palestinians, including 187 children, the injury of about 7,000 people, and the arrest of 14,500 others, according to official Palestinian data.
