  • By Nandita Bose, Kanishka Singh and Nidal al-Mughrabi ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE/Cairo (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said Jordan and Egypt should take in Palestinians from war-ravaged Gaza, a suggestion rejected by Hamas,

In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump suggested that Jordan and Egypt should accept Palestinian refugees from Gaza, a proposal that has met with significant pushback. Trump's comments were made in the context of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, where he criticized the current U.S. administration's handling of the situation. Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi responded by asserting that Jordan would not accept Palestinian refugees, emphasizing that the solution to the conflict should be within Palestinian territories. Similarly, Hamas, the governing body in Gaza, rejected Trump's idea, with a senior official stating that Palestinians should remain on their land. This proposal and the subsequent reactions highlight the complexities and sensitivities surrounding the displacement of Palestinians and the broader geopolitical dynamics in the region.
