Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt have welcomed U.S. President Trump’s withdrawal from a plan to displace Palestinians in Gaza, viewing it as a positive development. Palestinian officials emphasize ongoing collaboration and peace efforts, while Hamas agrees, urging for the respect of ceasefire terms. Both Jordan and Egypt reaffirm commitment to lasting peace and the two-state solution.
The leaders of Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt have expressed approval following U.S. President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from his earlier proposal to displace over two million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Palestinian Deputy Prime Minister Nabil Abu Rudeineh characterized the U.S. retreat as an “encouraging step” toward a political process grounded in international legitimacy and reliant on the Arab Peace Initiative.
Abu Rudeineh underscored the necessity for sustained Palestinian-Arab collaboration to support an Arab-led framework for Gaza’s reconstruction and a political initiative that aims to establish a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as reported by Xinhua.
Hamas has expressed approval for Trump’s intent to discard the idea of displacing Gazans. Spokesman Hazem Qassem urged Trump to reinforce his stance by ensuring the Israeli occupation adheres to the ceasefire agreement’s terms. This sentiment aligns with broader regional aspirations for peace.
Jordan’s Foreign Ministry openly welcomed Trump’s reversal, affirming Jordan’s commitment to peace initiatives supported by the regional populace. Spokesperson Sufian Qudah reiterated that the two-state solution is crucial for achieving enduring security and stability.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry also acknowledged Trump’s comments regarding the avoidance of Gazan displacement. They stated that these remarks demonstrate a recognition of the urgent need to ameliorate the humanitarian situation in Gaza, alongside the importance of seeking just and sustainable resolutions to the Palestinian conflict.
During a recent press conference with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, Trump affirmed that “Nobody is expelling any Palestinians from Gaza,” signaling a notable shift from his previous proposals. In early February, Trump had suggested a controversial “Gaza Riviera” plan that included relocating residents and transforming Gaza into a resort-like area, which received widespread criticism internationally.
The withdrawal of U.S. President Trump from his displacement plan for Palestinians in Gaza has been positively received by regional leaders in Palestine, Jordan, and Egypt. Their statements reflect a collective hope for future peace initiatives based on established principles of international legitimacy and collaboration. The commitment to a two-state solution and the avoidance of further humanitarian crises remain pivotal in the ongoing dialogue regarding the Palestinian issue.
