Jordan has reiterated its firm rejection of any plan to resettle Palestinians, following a controversial statement by US President Donald Trump who suggested “clearing out” the Gaza Strip.

During a session in parliament on Monday, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi emphasized that any discussion of an “alternative homeland” for Palestinians is unacceptable. "We do not accept it, nor will we," Safadi declared, adding that Jordan would continue to confront such proposals with all available resources.

Citing King Abdullah II, Safadi further stated: “Jordan is for Jordanians, Palestine is for Palestinians, and the solution to the Palestinian issue lies within Palestine itself.”

Trump’s comments, made on Saturday, referred to Gaza as a “demolition site” and proposed resettling Palestinians in Jordan or Egypt. This suggestion was quickly rejected by both Jordan and Egypt, with both nations issuing strong denouncements of any plan to displace Palestinians from their land.

The Arab League, headquartered in Cairo, also opposed such proposals, asserting that attempts to displace Palestinians—whether through resettlement, annexation, or settlement expansion—have failed historically.

Trump’s remarks came one week after a ceasefire went into effect on January 19, halting Israel's devastating military actions in Gaza, which have claimed the lives of over 47,300 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children.

Additionally, over 111,000 have been injured, and more than 11,000 people remain missing, while widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian crisis continue to ravage the enclave, leaving many elderly and children dead in what has been described as one of the most catastrophic global humanitarian disasters in recent memory.
