The spokesman warned that any forced displacement would constitute a “serious violation of international law, attacking the legal ambitions of the Palestinians” and would prove to be a “great obstacle to the two states”. He said that a two -state solution is “the only one that can guarantee long -term peace” for the Israelis and Palestinians.

OR German Foreign Minister, Analena Berbok He rejected the US plan, saying that Gaza “like the West Bank and East Jerusalem – belongs to the Palestinians”.

Fears for further turmoil

Trump reiterated at least four times in recent days that the Palestinians in Gaza must be displaced in neighboring countries, forming the idea for the first time on January 25 after contacting the King of Jordan Abdallah II and sparking widely convicted that the move would equalize. With ethnic cleansing and violating international law.

And as Hamas and Israel enter the second phase of ceasefire talks in Gaza, future governance and rebuilding the struck strip is still unclear. However, Trump’s plan represents his clearest position so far on his vision for Gaza. The US president also said Tuesday that he would probably present his post on the West Bank next month, an area occupied by Jordan and is occupied by Israel since 1967.

The Arab countries have been strongly rejecting the further expulsion of Palestinians, but this attitude has become stronger since Trump has re -assigned the White House on January 20th.

Foreign ministers from Arab states, such as Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, rejected the transfer of Palestinians from their land under any circumstances during a meeting in Cairo on February 1.

‘New suffering and new hate’

Jordan, in particular, sees every Palestinian movement to its land as an existential threat and a red line for the peace treaty with Israel.

Officials are concerned that the country – with a population of 11 million people, including more than half of Palestinians or Palestinian descent – could become a de facto Palestinian state, causing turmoil and destabilizing its society and economy.

King Abdallah II in Brussels on January 29, insisted on Jordan’s “steady position” to ensure that “the Palestinians would remain on their land,” according to a press release from the Royal Palace.

He is now expected to fly to Washington to meet Trump on February 11 as tensions escalate.
