DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Egypt and Jordan take in Palestinians from the war-ravaged Gaza Strip is being met with a hard “no” from at least one of the two U.S. allies along with the Palestinians themselves, who fear Israel would never allow them to return.

Jordanian officials have immediately rejected President Trump’s proposal to “clean out” Gaza by sending more than a million Palestinian refugees to Jordan and Egypt. Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said Sunday that the kingdom in Amman condemns Trump’s plan and that under no condition would it accept the Palestinians displaced by more than 15 months of war with Israel.

President Donald Trump’s push to have Egypt and Jordan take in large numbers of Palestinian refugees from besieged Gaza has fallen flat with the Amman government and perplexed a congressional ally

The president, calling the heavily bombed enclave “a demolition site,” proposed relocating Palestinians temporarily or long-term, a move rejected by Arab countries since the war began.
