AMMAN, Jordan (AA) – Jordan’s King Abdullah II reaffirmed his strong opposition on Tuesday to the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, warning of grave consequences from the ongoing Israeli escalation in the occupied West Bank.
Speaking at an emergency Arab summit in the New Administrative Capital east of Cairo, Egypt, Abdullah emphasized “the absolute rejection of any displacement” and stressed the need for “a clear, structured plan for the reconstruction of Gaza.”
This plan, he stated, should follow “a set timeline and be presented to key international partners to secure global support.”
The king also called for “backing the Palestinian Authority’s reform efforts to serve the interests of the Palestinian people.” He highlighted the need for a well-defined and practical approach to managing Gaza and linking it with the West Bank to ensure the provision of essential services and security.
He urged “a halt to the dangerous escalation, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.” He also warned against “attempts by extremists within the Israeli government” to provoke tensions and destabilize the region.
