Jordan's King Abdullah has categorically rejected any proposals aimed at annexing land or displacing Palestinians, in response to U.S. President Trump's suggested plans for the Gaza region.

Following a statement from Trump regarding U.S. intentions to take over Gaza economically after resettlement, international discontent has risen sharply. The Jordanian royal court's post on X reaffirmed King Abdullah II's firm stance against Israeli settlement expansions.

Despite Trump's assertions that regional leaders such as King Abdullah and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would eventually endorse his plan, Jordan maintained its clear opposition to any initiatives that might destabilize or uproot Palestinian communities.
