Arab Nations Reject Donald Trump's Proposal
Arab nations have rejected a recent proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump, delivering a significant setback to his plan. Following his tenure as president, Trump suggested that Palestinian civilians affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza be resettled in neighboring Egypt and Jordan. However, this proposal was firmly opposed by multiple Arab countries.
In a joint statement, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, the Palestinian Authority, and the Arab League categorically rejected the idea of resettling Palestinians outside their homeland. The statement emphasized that such a move could destabilize the region and exacerbate the ongoing conflict. It further warned that the plan could make it even more difficult for people to live peacefully in the affected areas.
Trump's proposal comes amid the devastation in Gaza caused by Israeli military strikes, which have severely impacted civilian life. However, Arab nations have made it clear that they do not support any initiative that alters the demographic and political status of Palestinians.
