Jordan’s Prime Minister, Bisher Al-Khasawneh, has stated that any attempts to displace Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank are a red line for Jordan and would be considered an act of war. During a meeting with parliament members, Al-Khasawneh emphasized that Jordan retains all options in addressing the Israeli aggression in Gaza and its repercussions.
He highlighted that forced displacement from Gaza or the West Bank violates international and humanitarian law and called for an end to the immunity granted to Israel, allowing them to kill Palestinian civilians. Jordan, under King Abdullah II’s leadership, has been striving from the onset of the conflict to halt the war and facilitate humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Al-Khasawneh also praised Jordanians for their civil expressions of protest and thanked security forces for their civilized handling of demonstrations. He reaffirmed Jordan’s support for the Palestinian cause, including the establishment of an independent, sovereign state within the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, resolving issues of Jerusalem, settlements, borders, and refugees while safeguarding Jordanian interests.
